SignBD-Word: Video-Based Bangla Word-Level Sign Language Dataset

Bangla sign language (BdSL) is a complete and independent natural sign language with its own linguistic characteristics. While there exists video datasets for well-known sign languages, there is currently no available dataset for word-level BdSL. In this study, we present a video-based word-level dataset for Bangla sign language, called SignBD-Word, consisting of 6000 sign videos representing 200 unique words. The dataset includes full and upper-body views of the signers, along with 2D body pose information. This dataset can also be used as a benchmark for testing sign video classification algorithms.Official Train Test Spllit (for both RGB and bodypose) can be found from the following link: https://sites.google.com/view/signbd-word/datasetThis dataset is part of the following paper:A.
