Several researchers have proposed systems with high recognition rates for sign language recognition. Recently, there has also been an increase in research that uses multiple recognition methods and further fuses their results to improve recognition rates. The most recent of these studies, skeleton aware multi-modal SLR (SAM-SLR), achieved a recognition rate of 98.00% on the RGB video of the Turkish Sign Language dataset AUTSL. We investigated the unrecognized parts of this dataset and found that some signs where the fingers touch parts of the face were not correctly recognized. The proposed method is as follows: First, those with slight differences in top-1 and top-2 evaluation values in the SAM-SLR recognition results are extracted and re-evaluated. Then, we created heatmaps of the coordinates of the index finger in one-handed sign language in the face region of the recognition result in the top-1 to top-3 training data of the candidates based on the face part criteria, respectively. In addition, we extracted four index finger positions from the test data where the index finger stayed longer and obtained the product of the heatmap values of these positions. The highest value among them was used as the result of the re-evaluation. Finally, three evaluation methods were used: the absolute and relative evaluation with two heatmaps and an evaluation method integrating the absolute and relative evaluation results. As a result of applying the proposed method to the SAM-SLR and the previously proposed model, respectively, the best method achieved 98.24% for the highest recognition rate, an improvement of 0.30 points.
