Sign language is an important way for deaf people to understand and communicate with others. Many researchers use Wi-Fi signals to recognize hand and finger gestures in a non-invasive manner. However, Wi-Fi signals usually contain signal interference, background noise, and mixed multipath noise. In this study, Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) is preprocessed by singular value decomposition (SVD) to obtain the essential signals. Sign language includes the positional relationship of gestures in space and the changes of actions over time. We propose a novel dual-output two-stream convolutional neural network. It not only combines the spatial-stream network and the motion-stream network, but also effectively alleviates the backpropagation problem of the two-stream convolutional neural network (CNN) and improves its recognition accuracy. After the two stream networks are fused, an attention mechanism is applied to select the important features learned by the two-stream networks. Our method has been validated by the public dataset SignFi and adopted five-fold cross-validation. Experimental results show that SVD preprocessing can improve the performance of our dual-output two-stream network. For home, lab, and lab + home environment, the average recognition accuracy rates are 99.13%, 96.79%, and 97.08%, respectively. Compared with other methods, our method has good performance and better generalization capability.
