Design and Developing of Techniques to Assist the Visually Impaired People
Abstract
According to WHO
(World Health Organization) over 280 million people worldwide live with visual
impairment which prevents them from basic access to written or visual material.
They often need to identify objects around them. How do these people see or
recognize objects and read? The only way is by touching and listening. That is
the major problem faced by visually impaired people, to detect the object
without touching it and in this pandemic situation with COVID like deadly virus
around, touching any object directly with bare hands is not safe. In past
decades, many efforts have been done in developing several devices or
techniques to assist the visually impaired. Many of those are too costly or
heavy or don’t help the visually impaired much. So, the goal of the proposed
system is to develop an android application that will help them to recognize
and identify various objects and currencies, detect faces in front of them, understand
image/ scene text in real-time using object, face, text and currency detection
and recognition algorithms and get the current location they are at and assist
them hence leading to improve independence and ease of its user.
