Introduction #

Released 2022-02-11 ·Ganzorig Batnasan, Munkhjargal Gochoo, Munkh Erdene Otgonboldet al.

The authors present their collected and annotated ArSL21L: Arabic Sign Language Letter Dataset consisting of 14202 images of 32 letter signs with various backgrounds collected from 50 people. They benchmarked the ArSL21L dataset on state-of-the-art object detection models, i.e., 4 versions of YOLOv5.

Motivation

For individuals with hearing loss (PwHL), establishing social connections with the mainstream population can be challenging. This often necessitates interactive computer systems capable of understanding sign language. With the growing popularity of Metaverse applications employing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), there’s an opportunity to facilitate remote sign language instruction through avatars that mimic gestures, powered by AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems. While numerous methods and datasets exist for English sign language, resources for Arabic sign language are limited. Thus, the authors introduce the Arabic Sign Language Letters Dataset (ArSL21L), comprising 14,202 images depicting 32 letter signs against various backgrounds. These images were collected from 50 individuals and annotated for clarity and consistency.

Summary #

ArSL21L: Arabic Sign Language Letter Dataset is a dataset for an object detection task. It is used in the educational domain.

The dataset consists of 14202 images with 14208 labeled objects belonging to 32 different classes including thaa, al, dha, and other: fa, ghain, ha, khaa, la, meem, saad, seen, sheen, ta, thal, toot, yaa, haa, ain, jeem, ya, aleff, bb, kaaf, gaaf, taa, laam, zay, dhad, ra, nun, waw, and dal.

Images in the ArSL21L dataset have bounding box annotations. All images are labeled (i.e. with annotations). There are 2 splits in the dataset: train (9955 images) and val (4247 images). The dataset was released in 2022 by the United Arab Emirates University.
