Abstract

The objective of the “Sign Language Recognition, Translation & Production” (SLRTP 2020) Workshop was to bring together researchers who focus on the various aspects of sign language understanding using tools from computer vision and linguistics. The workshop sought to promote a greater linguistic and historical understanding of sign languages within the computer vision community, to foster new collaborations and to identify the most pressing challenges for the field going forwards. The workshop was held in conjunction with the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), 2020.
