Abstract
Visual impairment poses significant challenges to individuals in their daily lives, limiting their independence and access to information. This project focuses on the design and implementation of an innovative real-time assistance system to address the needs of visually impaired peoples. The system aims to enhance their mobility, communication, and overall quality of life through technological advancements. The proposed system utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as computer vision, machine learning, and wearable devices to provide real-time assistance to visually impaired peoples. It employs a combination of image processing algorithms and deep learning models to recognize and interpret the surrounding environment, enabling users to navigate their surroundings more effectively and safely. The core functionalities of the system include object detection and recognition, obstacle detection and avoidance, text-to-speech conversion, and indoor localization. Through the integration of a wearable device equipped with sensors and cameras, the system captures and processes visual information in real-time, generating auditory cues and providing spoken instructions to the user. The implementation of the assistance system involves the development of a custom hardware setup, software algorithms, and user-friendly interfaces. The system is designed to be portable, lightweight, and non-intrusive, allowing users to seamlessly integrate it into their daily routines. Additionally, considerations are given to accessibility and usability to ensure the system caters to a diverse range of visually impaired peoples. Extensive testing and evaluation are conducted to assess the system's performance, accuracy, and user experience. User feedback and suggestions are incorporated into iterative design improvements to enhance the system's effectiveness and usability.
The results demonstrate that the proposed assistance system provides valuable support to visually impaired peoples, promoting their independence, mobility, and engagement with the environment. The real-time nature of the system allows for prompt response to changing surroundings and dynamic situations, facilitating easy navigation & interaction in both in and outdoor environments.
