On the onehand, it poses a complex challengethat requiresthe intervention of various knowledge areas, suchas video processing, image processing, intelligentsystems and linguistics. On the other hand, robustrecognition of sign language could assist in thetranslation process and the integration of hearing-impaired people.This paper offers two main contributions: first,the creation of a database of handshapes for theArgentinian Sign Language (LSA), which is a topicthat has barely beendiscussed so far. Secondly,a technique for image processing, descriptor ex-traction and subsequent handshape classificationusing a supervised adaptation of self-organizingmaps that is called ProbSom.
