Object Detection System For Visually Impaired

Abstract

• Visual impairment and blindness caused by various diseases has been hugely reduced, but there are many people who are at risk of age-related visual impairment.


• Visual information is the basis for most navigational tasks, so visually impaired people are at disadvantage because necessary information about the surrounding environment is not available.


• With the recent advances in inclusive technology it is possible to extend the support given to people with visual impairment during their mobility.


• In this context we propose a system, named Sensory wand, whose objective is to give blind users the ability to sense the object in an unfamiliar environment, whether indoor or outdoor, through a user friendly interface.
