A Kinect Corpus of Swedish Sign Language Signs

Abstract. We describe a corpus of Swedish sign language signs, recorded for the purpose of an educational “signing game”. The primary target group of the game is children with communicative disabilities, and the goal is to offer a playful and interactive way of learning and practicing sign language signs to these children, as well as to their friends and family. As a first step, a dataset consisting of 51 signs has been recorded for a total of 10 adult signers. The signers performed all of the signs five times and were captured with an RGB-D (Microsoft Kinect) sensor, via a purpose-built recording application
