• Dual Level Intraframe Coding for Increased Video Telecommunication Bandwidth

  David M. Saxe, Richard A. Foulds, Arthur W. Joyce · 1998 · Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

  This paper from the Applied Science and Engineering Laboratories at the University of Delaware presents a dual-level video compression approach designed to make sign language transmission viable over bandwidth-limited telephone networks. The authors identify a fundamental…

• Modeling and Generating Sign Language as Animated Line Drawings

  Frank Godenschweger, Thomas Strothotte · 1998 · Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

  This paper from Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg introduces a system for generating sign language as animated line drawings rather than photorealistic 3D renderings. The authors argue that the prevailing approach of creating increasingly realistic virtual humans for…
