It is based on both lip reading and manual gestures. In the context of THIMP Telephony for the Hearing-IMpaired Project we work on automatic cued speech translation. In this paper we only address the problem of automatic cued speech manual gesture recognition. Such a gesture recognition issue is really common from a theoretical point of view but we approach it with respect to its particularities in order to derive an original method. This method is essentially built around a bioinspired method called early reduction. Prior to a complete analysis of each image of a sequence the early reduction process automatically extracts a restricted number of key images which summarize the whole sequence. Only the key images are studied from a temporal point of view with lighter computation than the complete sequence. Copyright 2007 Thomas Burger et al.

INTRODUCTION Among the various means of expression dedicated to the hearing impaired the best known are sign languages SLs . Most of the time SLs have a structure completely different from oral languages. As a consequence the mother tongue of the hearing impaired any SL is completely different from that which the hearing impaired are supposed
