    EasyTalk: A Translator for Sri Lankan Sign Language using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
    (IEEE, 2020-12-10) Manoj Kumar, D; Bavanraj, k; Thavananthan, S; Bastiansz, G. M. A. S; Harshanath, S. M. B; Alosious, J
    Sign language is used by the hearing-impaired and inarticulate community to communicate with each other. But not all Sri Lankans are aware of the sign language or verbal languages and a translation is required. The Sri Lankan Sign Language is tightly bound to the hearing-impaired and inarticulate. The paper presents EasyTalk, a sign language translator which can translate Sri Lankan Sign Language into text and audio formats as well as translate verbal language into Sri Lankan Sign Language which would benefit them to express their ideas. This is handled in four separate components. The first component, Hand Gesture Detector captures hand signs using pre-trained models. Image Classifier component classifies and translates the detected hand signs. The Text and Voice Generator component produces a text or an audio formatted output for identified hand signs. Finally, Text to Sign Converter works on converting an entered English text back into the sign language based animated images. By using these techniques, EasyTalk can detect, translate and produce relevant outputs with superior accuracy. This can result in effective and efficient communication between the community with differently-abled people and the community with normal people.

    Improve the Efficiency and Security by Digitalizing the Sri Lankan Police Department
    (IEEE, 2021-12-09) Senaratne, A. N; Abeywardana, K. Y; Pathirathna, R. P. D.T. D; Priyamantha, Y. P. C. N; Dias, W. D. S; Katukithulgala, B
    Police, as the main law enforcement organization in Sri Lanka, play a major role in preserving the public order, preventing criminal, terrorist activities, and enforcing the law. As a developing nation, Sri Lanka Police Department is moving forward with emerging technologies to effectively manage operations and rapidly respond to opportunities and challenges. Compared to developed countries, Police Department is still far more behind when working with modern technologies. Lack of coordination between departments, duplication of data, delay of services, unauthorized data modification, absence of data analysis and prediction systems, lack of transparency, and corruption were identified as the main issues that exist in the police department. In this paper, we propose 4 main improvements which help to overcome those issues and challenges. Improving the existing police clearance certificate system to issue digital certificates capable of verifying the authenticity, integrity of the document and providing efficient delivery and great user experience to the applicants. Implementing a Blockchain network to store confidential data securely by providing transparency and integrity. Developing a machine learning model to predict crimes geographically and predict fight crime action based on data gathered from a real-time camera system (CCTV).
