# Dataset for German Sign Language Avatar Training

## Dataset Summary

This dataset provides curated resources for training data-driven avatars to perform isolated signs in **German Sign Language (Deutsche Gebärdensprache, DGS)**. It includes videos of individual signs as well as corresponding pose estimation results in a structured and reusable format.

The data is at this moment just sourced from [SignDict.org](https://signdict.org/) and organized into three primary folders:

- `videos-raw`: Original, uncut video files 
- `videos-cut`: Cutted videos containing only the relevant signing segments
- `extracted`: Pose estimation results for the cropped videos in `.pev` format (according to `pose-estimation-recognition-utils` V1.0)

## Folder Structure

├── videos-raw/ # Full original sign videos (from SignDict) \
├── videos-cut/ # Cutted versions focused on signing motion \
├── extracted/ # Pose estimation data in .pev format


## Data Format

- **Videos**: All videos show isolated signs, one per clip. The raw videos often contain context or idle movement; the `videos-cut` subset has been manually trimmed to isolate the gesture.
- **Pose Estimation Data**:
  - Format: `.pev` (JSON-based)
  - Standard: Compatible with `pose-estimation-recognition-utils` V1.0
  - Content: Frame-by-frame 3D keypoints for hands, face, and body
