Therefore … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 7 Sep 2011 · 7,283 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecognizing Sign Language Gestures Using a Hybrid Spatio-Temporal Deep Learning ModelMeryem Cherrate, My Abdelouahed Sabri, Ali Yahyaouy, Abdellah AarabRecognizing gestures in American Sign Language (ASL) from video data presents significant challenges due to the intricate combination of hand gestures, facial cues, and body motion. In this work, we introduce a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for extracting spatial characteristics with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for capturing temporal sequences. The model was trained … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 12 · 23 Jan 2026 · 2,056 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMulti-Controlled Wheelchair for Upper Extremities DisabilityChadi F. RimanPeople with motor disabilities are trying to be more autonomous by using an electric wheelchair with a conventional joystick control. However, a problem arises when these people are suffering from upper extremities disability such as tetraplegia. Several methods were implemented such as voice control, chin control, eye-blink, sip-and-puff, but each has its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, in some situations a … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2018 · 7,247 accessesView PDF Cite
