New developments in low-bit rate videotelephony for people who are deaf.

This study was designed to evaluate the picture quality requirements for three visual communication modes: speechreading, fingerspelling, and sign language. Video recordings of everyday spoken, fingerspelled, and signed sentences were made, and some recordings were processed using a computer simulat...

      ab: This study was designed to evaluate the picture quality requirements for three visual communication modes: speechreading, fingerspelling, and sign language. Video recordings of everyday spoken, fingerspelled, and signed sentences were made, and some recordings were processed using a computer simulation of the IBIDEM technology: a videophone based on a novel type of visual sensor. This retina-like sensor, implemented in the camera, has a high resolution in the central part and a degrading resolution in the peripheral part of the picture. Two independent variables were examined: frame rate (10 and 15 frames per second) and spatial resolution (6000 and 8000 pixels per frame). Twenty-four people who were prelingually deaf participated, 8 in each communication mode. The results showed a marked effect of frame rate on speechreading. Fingerspelling and sign language were not affected by frame rate, and spatial resolution had no effect on any of the three communication modes.
