A systematic review of computer vision technology applied for individuals with disabilities

Abstract

This study delves into how computer vision technology is used in the field of disabilities. It examines the potential applications and limitations of computer vision in disability research to analyze the development of computer vision technology, and its technical applications for individuals with disabilities. The study focuses on the positive impact of such technology on the lives of people with disabilities by offering detailed examples of how computer vision technology is practically applied to individuals with various types of disabilities including visual impairment, hearing impairment, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It provides insights into innovative changes brought about by computer vision technology in the disability field over the past five years, and offers perspectives on potential development possibilities and future research directions. The comprehensive examination of these multifaceted aspects in this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the evolving landscape of computer vision technology in the context of disabilities.
