摘要

Communication with deaf and hard-of-hearing people in Morocco, representing around 500,000 individuals, remains a major challenge due to the lack of effective recognition systems for sign language. This paper proposes a Moroccan sign language recognition system based on an ensemble learning approach combined with a hard voting method. We have designed a model integrating several classification algorithms in order to take advantage of their respective strengths, thus reducing classification errors through prediction fusion. By training the model on a database comprising 28 signs representing the Moroccan alphabet, we achieved a remarkable accuracy of 99%. The results demonstrate a significant improvement over traditional methods, providing a valuable resource to facilitate communication with this community. We also discuss the challenges encountered during development, such as gesture variability and data quality, as well as prospects for applying this system in real-life contexts.
