Abstract

Bangla ranks as the fifth most spoken language globally, catalyzing significant interest in the development of Bangla optical character recognition (OCR) sys tems. The intricate structure of the Bangla script, including compound char acters, modifiers, and headlines, complicates the formation of words. This research introduces a complete OCR system pipeline for printed Bangla text. It employs a thinning-based segmentation approach combined with a convolu tional neural network (CNN) to recognize Bangla fonts. Additionally, a part of speech (POS)-aware spell checker is proposed that automatically corrects mis spelled words while considering their context within the sentence. We intro duce semi-generalized filters that adapt to new fonts, addressing conjunct for mation challenges in Bangla OCR. This flexible design allows for adaptation to new fonts. The ResNet50 model is utilized to accurately recognize segmented characters and modifiers. We achieve a character segmentation error of 3.354% and an overall segmentation error of 2.332%. The ResNet50 recognition model achieves an accuracy of 98.345%.

Abstract

Sign language is the communication process of people with hearing impairments. For hearing-impaired communication in Bangladesh and parts of India, Bangla sign language (BSL) is the standard. While Bangla is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, there is a scarcity of research in the field of BSL recognition. The few research works done so far focused on detecting BSL alphabets. To the best of our knowledge, no work on detecting BSL words has been conducted till now for the unavailability of BSL word dataset. In this research, a small static-gesture word dataset has been developed, and a deep learning-based method has been introduced that can detect BSL static-gesture words from images. The dataset, “BSLword” contains 30 static-gesture BSL words with 1200 images for training. The training is done using a multi-layered convolutional neural network with the Adam optimizer. OpenCV is used for image processing and TensorFlow is used to build the deep learning models. This system can recognize BSL static-gesture words with 92.50% accuracy on the word dataset.
