This document proposes a system for recognizing Indian sign language using a region of interest convolutional neural network. It begins with an introduction describing the need for such a system to help deaf people communicate. It then reviews related work on sign language recognition systems. The document outlines the objectives of developing an easy to use and low cost system. It describes the proposed use of a convolutional neural network with region of interest to recognize signs, rather than conventional feature extraction and classification approaches. Details of the system design, architecture and results are provided. The goal is to help deaf individuals communicate more easily with others.
