Abstract Sign Language, a language that uses a system of manual, facial, and other body movements as the means of communication, is the primary means of communication for people having speaking and hearing impairment. This paper uses image processing and fuzzy rule based system to develop an intelligent system which can act as an interpreter between the Bengali sign language and... Sign Language, a language that uses a system of manual, facial, and other body movements as the means of communication, is the primary means of communication for people having speaking and hearing impairment. This paper uses image processing and fuzzy rule based system to develop an intelligent system which can act as an interpreter between the Bengali sign language and the spoken language. Initially the data is processed from raw images and then the rules are identified by measuring angles. Primarily, the system is tested only for two letters in Bengali. Read More Read Less

Abstract In this paper we suggest a hybridization scheme to solve Economic Lot Scheduling Problem (ELSP) using basic period approach. We proposed a hybrid approach based on Cuckoo Search (CS) optimization to find the optimum value of ki’s and Golden section search with parabolic interpolation to find the optimum value of basic period T. The proposed hybridized scheme is compared with... In this paper we suggest a hybridization scheme to solve Economic Lot Scheduling Problem (ELSP) using basic period approach. We proposed a hybrid approach based on Cuckoo Search (CS) optimization to find the optimum value of ki’s and Golden section search with parabolic interpolation to find the optimum value of basic period T. The proposed hybridized scheme is compared with the best known Genetic Algorithm [4] on Bomberger’s dataset [1]. This hybrid approach is found competitive and efficient in solving Economic Lot Scheduling Problem and outperform the Genetic Algorithm on problems with lower machine utilization as well as higher machine utilization.
