Creation of the CorSiL database

A Portuguese Sign Language and Expressiveness Recognition Database

The CorSiL database was created within the framework of a research project at INESC TEC, Porto, Portugal, which aimed to develop both a video-based automatic SLR system and a expressiveness analysis method of the human body during the interaction between a pair of subjects. In this manner the CorSiL database has two major components (or subsets) each one with a specific purpose:

  1. [signLangDB]: a Portuguese Sign Language video dataset.
  2. [corpLangDB]: a duo-interaction video dataset between Deaf and/or hearing people.
