BAS Database for Signer-Independent Continuous Sign Language Recognition

The contains both isolated and continuous utterances of various signers. Since we use a vision-based approach for sign language recognition the corpus was recorded on video. For quick random access to individual frames, each video clip is stored as a sequence of images. The vocabulary comprises 450 basic signs in German Sign Language (DGS) representing different word types. Based on this vocabulary, overall 780 sentences were constructed.

该语料库包含多位手语使用者的孤立话语与连续话语。由于本研究采用基于视觉的手语识别方案，故该语料库以视频形式录制。为实现对单帧画面的快速随机访问，每条视频片段均存储为图像序列。该语料的词汇表涵盖德国手语（German Sign Language，简称DGS）中的450个基础手势，覆盖不同词类。基于此词汇表，共计构建了780条语句。
