Each hand gesture has a different meaning. In order to better communicate, we need an automatic translator who can recognize hand movements as a word or sentence in communicating with deaf people. This paper proposes a system to recognize hand gestures based on Indonesian Sign Language Standard. This system uses Myo Armband as hand gesture sensors. Myo Armband has 21 sensors to express the hand gesture data. Recognition process uses a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify the hand gesture based on the dataset of Indonesian Sign Language Standard. SVM yields the accuracy of 86.59% to recognize hand gestures as sign language. Keywords: Hand Gesture Recognition, Feature Extraction, Indonesian Sign Language, Myo Armband, Moment Invariant 1. INTRODUCTION Communication is an important element in society. Communication is used to pass information from a person to another person or a person to a group of people or community. People can understand each other with good communication. Unfortunately, many people in this world don’t have the ability to fully communicate to other people such as deaf and mute. They have a limitation on verbal communication. They use sign language as a means to communicate. Sign language has different standards and forms based on the country itself. In Indonesia, there are two sign language standards that are mostly used by society, which are Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia (BISINDO) and Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia (SIBI). Deaf people can communicate with each other using one of two sign language standards. Nevertheless, many people in society do not understand the sign languages in standard forms [1]. This matter has been another problem from then until now. As technology advances rapidly in the past few years, many researchers have found many means to overcome the problem of communication between deaf and mute using sign language to people who do not understand or have knowledge of sign languages. They created a sign language interpreter system. This system can interpret or translate sign languages to texts or voices. In this way, people who do
