  This paper introduces the RGB Arabic Alphabet Sign Language (AASL) dataset.
AASL comprises 7,856 raw and fully labelled RGB images of the Arabic sign
language alphabets, which to our best knowledge is the first publicly available
RGB dataset. The dataset is aimed to help those interested in developing
real-life Arabic sign language classification models. AASL was collected from
more than 200 participants and with different settings such as lighting,
background, image orientation, image size, and image resolution. Experts in the
field supervised, validated and filtered the collected images to ensure a
high-quality dataset. AASL is made available to the public on Kaggle.
