Abstract
This work tackles the challenge of continuous sign language segmentation, a key task with huge implications for sign language translation and data annotation. We propose a transformer-based architecture that models the temporal dynamics of signing and frames segmentation as a sequence labeling problem using the Begin-In-Out (BIO) tagging scheme. Our method leverages the HaMeR hand features, and is complemented with 3D Angles. Extensive experiments show that our model achieves state-of-the-art results on the DGS Corpus, while our features surpass prior benchmarks on BSLCorpus.
