individuals face significant challenges in navigating their surroundings
independently. To address this, we propose an intelligent Blind Assistance
System that integrates computer vision, machine learning, and IoT to provide
real-time object recognition and environmental awareness through audio
feedback. The system consists of a wearable camera that captures live video, an
ML model that performs object detection and scene recognition, and an NLP-based
voice assistant that converts detected objects into speech output.
Additionally, an Arduino-based ultrasonic sensor detects nearby obstacles and
triggers a buzzer for proximity alerts. The system is further enhanced by a
Flutter-based mobile application, which utilizes a TensorFlow Lite (TFLite)
MobileNet SSD model for live object detection and offers voice-controlled
interactions. To improve accessibility, a Flask/FastAPI server hosts the scene
detection model, allowing seamless integration into the mobile app. This
low-cost, AI-powered assistive solution empowers visually impaired individuals
by enhancing their spatial awareness, improving mobility, and promoting
independent living.
