Data Collected

Flock Sign Language Data

This is the data used in my thesis. It's available here as a bzipped, tarred, file. The file consists of 9 subdirectories tctodd1-9. Each directory consists of 3 samples of each sign, captured on a different day. In total there are 95 different signs, with 27 samples per sign. Signs were provided by a native signer volunteer.

Each file consists of a sequence of lines. Each line consists of 22 whitespace-separated numbers representing the 22 channels of information. The list of channels can be found in the domain description file. It also lists the classes. More information can be found in my PhD thesis above, in particular, section 6.3.1, and some in my honours thesis.

Finally, there's a list of the files and their class labels.

The files are:

• tctodd.tar.bz2 is the file with all the recordings of the signs.
• Domain description file lists the classes and the channels.
• Files and their class labels has a list of each file and its class label.
