Context

Sign Language is a communication language just like any other language which is used among deaf community. This dataset is a complete set of gestures which are used in sign language and can be used by other normal people for better understanding of the sign language gestures .

Content

The dataset consists of 37 different hand sign gestures which includes A-Z alphabet gestures, 0-9 number gestures and also a gesture for space which means how the deaf or dumb people represent space between two letter or two words while communicating. The dataset has two parts, that is two folders (1)-Gesture Image Data - which consists of the colored images of the hands for different gestures. Each gesture image is of size 50X50 and is in its specified folder name that is A-Z folders consists of A-Z gestures images and 0-9 folders consists of 0-9 gestures respectively, '_' folder consists of images of the gesture for space. Each gesture has 1500 images, so all together there are 37 gestures which means there 55,500 images for all gestures in the 1st folder and in the 2nd folder that is (2)-Gesture Image Pre-Processed Data which has the same number of folders and same number of images that is 55,500. The difference here is these images are threshold binary converted images for training and testing purpose. Convolutional Neural Network is well suited for this dataset for model training purpose and gesture prediction.

I wouldn't be here without the help of others. As this dataset is being created with the help of references of the work done on sign language in data science and also references from the work done on image processing.
