A Software Toolkit for Pre-processing Sign Language Video Streams
We present the requirements, design guidelines, and the software architecture of an open-source toolkit dedicated to the pre-processing of sign language video material. The toolkit is a collection of functions and command-line tools designed to be integrated with build automation systems. Every pre-processing tool is dedicated to standard pre-processing operations (e.g., trimming, cropping, resizing) or feature extraction (e.g., identification of areas of interest, landmark detection) and can be used also as a standalone Python module. The UML diagrams of its architecture are presented together with a few working examples of its usage. The software is freely available with an open-source license on a public repository.
