Arabic sign language
Sign languages are natural, gestural languages that use visual channel to communicate. Deaf people develop them to overcome their inability to communicate orally. Sign language interpreters bridge the gap that deaf people face in society and provide them with an equal opportunity to thrive in all environments. However, Deaf people often struggle to communicate on a daily basis, especially in public service spaces such as hospitals, post offices, and municipal buildings.

KSU-ArSL was developed by the Center of Smart Robotics Research at King Saud University (KSU) in conjunction with the Higher Education Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The dataset consists of 80 classes (belonging to 80 signs) recorded by 40 healthy subjects using three cameras (one RGB and two Microsoft Kinect cameras). Each subject repeated each sign 5 times in five separate sessions at the same day. As a result, there are 200 video samples per class, 16000 samples in total per camera.
