A single library to (down)load all existing sign language video datasets.
There are various video datasets for Sign Language. However:
- Each dataset has its own format and many are hard to find.
- Each dataset has its own mapping of handshapes to classes. While Signs depend on the specific Sign Language for a country/region, handshapes are universal. Hence, they could be shared between datasets/tasks.
This library aims to provide two main features:
- A simplified API to download and load datasets
- A mapping between datasets so that datasets can be merged for training/testing models.
We hope it will help Sign Language Recognition develop further, both for research and application development.
If you wish to add a dataset you can make a push request or file an issue.
This library is a work in progress. Contributions are welcome.
