The PORTSIGN (Portuguese Sign Language Dataset and Recognition Project) proposes the development of a multimodal and open dataset dedicated to Portuguese Sign Language (LGP), accompanied by the creation of an artificial intelligence model capable of recognising and interpreting gestures in a robust, ethical and inclusive manner.
The initiative integrates computer vision methodologies, deep learning and LGP, with the aim of promoting communicative accessibility and contributing to the digital inclusion of the deaf community.
