Summary:In this paper, an approach for deaf-people interfacing using computer vision is presented. The recognition of alphabetic static signs of the Spanish sign language is addressed. The proposed approach combines a number of norms to evaluate the distance of the current sign, to the sign models stored in a database (a dictionary). This solution leads to a largely selective criterion. The method is simple enough to provide real-time recognition, and works suitably for most letters
