It is actively used in various fields such as medicine, military, security, traffic, industry, agriculture, astronomy, retail, environmental safety, geodesy and photogrammetry and provides great benefits. Based on all these, the recognition of sign language by computers and its translation into voice and writing will facilitate the work of individuals with disabilities and those who do not know sign language in daily life.
