Myelofon: The Way of Expressing Thoughts for People with Speech Disorders

获奖作品摘要

Nowadays there are 360 million people with speech disturbances worldwide. Despite the existence of sign language and methods of its interpretation the issue of communication with deaf-mute people remains acute. The goal of our project is to create a device recognizing sign language (ASL) and translating it into English. Myelofon uses a controller, consisting of a set of infrared cameras and LEDs to register the positions of the user's hands. Then the data is processed by the computer unit. The source code of the program is written in Python v2.7. We decided to use mathematical algorithms that separate the hands from a complex environment using a differential Sobel operator. This method of detecting among the background noise allows Myelofon to recognize the hands. To reproduce spoken language, we used the Naive Bayes tokenization algorithm from the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), that allowed us to separate the input data by the presence or absence of certain elements in their composition. The accuracy of the sentences is provided by using of NLTK morphological analyzers. Myelofon takes the sample and finds the most common two and three word expressions. The information about hand position is updated 200 times per second, Myelofon recognizes the gestures with up to 98% precision (during the test in normal light conditions). The algorithm is resistant to background interference in field of view of the controller (120 degrees in-depth, 150 degrees in width). Myelofon is capable of simulating a natural language with up to 95% accuracy (correctly formulated sentences in the test), and allows us to greatly simplify communication with the deaf-mute community. In future we want to continue expanding Myelofon's word bank and making it more comfortable for users.

学科简介：机器人与智能机器 Robotics and Intelligent Machines

Studies in which the use of machine intelligence is paramount to reducing the reliance on human intervention.

Subcategories:

Biomechanics (BIE): Studies and apparatus which mimic the role of mechanics in biological systems.

Cognitive Systems (COG): Studies/apparatus that operate similarly to the ways humans think and process information. Systems that provide for increased interaction of people and machines to more naturally extend and magnify human expertise, activity, and cognition.

Control Theory (CON): Studies that explore the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how their behavior is modified by feedback.  This includes new theoretical results and the applications of new and established control methods, system modelling, identification and simulation, the analysis and design of control systems (including computer-aided design), and practical implementation.

Machine Learning (MAC): Construction and/or study of algorithms that can learn from data.

Robot Kinematics (KIN): The study of movement in robotic systems.

Other (OTH): Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.
