Abstract: The sign language is absolutely an ocular interaction linguistic over and done with its built-in grammar, be nothing like basically from that of spoken languages. This research paper presents, an inventive context, whose key aim is to achieve the transmutation of 24 static gestures of American Sign Language alphabets into human or machine identifiable manuscript of English language. The gestures sets considered for cognition and recognition process are purely invariant to location, Background, Background color, illumination, angle, distance, time, and also camera resolution in nature. The gesture recognition process is carried out after clear segmentation and preprocessing stages. As an outcome, this paper yields an average recognition rate of 98.21%, which is an outstanding accuracy comparing to state of art techniques.
