In American Sign Language (ASL) as well as other signed languages, different classes of signs (e. g., lexical signs, fingerspelled signs, and classifier constructions) have different internal structural properties.

Current approaches to sign recognition by computer generally have at least some of the following limitations: they rely on laboratory conditions for sign production, are limited to a small vocabulary, rely on 2D modeling (and therefore cannot deal with occlusions and off-plane rotations), and/or achieve limited success.
