Deployment of an Android App and Camera to Detect Objects for Visually Challenged Persons

Abstract

Among all of the human senses, vision is one of the most important, and it plays a critical role in comprehending the surroundings around you Visually challenged people find it challenging to go about outside without assistance. As a result, this research is an attempt to develop a low vision object detection system. As a result, the following is required: It requires, among other things, a camera, an application, and an audio device. We developed and deployed an Android app that makes use of the phone's camera a vision-impaired person uses a camera to detect objects in their environment. In addition, the Application will inform the user of the object's direction as well as their distance from it. The programme will use an audio device such as headphones or the phone's speaker to give the visually impaired user the name, direction, and distance of the object. Visually challenged persons will be able to converse with each other using this way. This technology will allow visually impaired persons to travel around independently by educating them about the many items around them.
