ST-Xception: A Depthwise Separable Convolution Network for Military Sign Language Recognition

Military sign language is an important form of tactical communication, especially in restrict situations where either distance or a requirement for silence precludes oral means. Unfortunately, when soldiers cannot see each other, the communication mode of tactical gestures is no longer effective, which may hinder military operations. Vision-based approaches have been at the forefront in the field of hand gesture recognition. However, there still...
