Abstract

We present a computer vision system that helps blind people find lost objects. To this end, we combine color- and SIFT-based object detection with sonification to guide the hand of the user towards potential target object locations. This way, we are able to guide the user's attention and effectively reduce the space in the environment that needs to be explored. We verified the suitability of the proposed system in a user study. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
