Assistive technology for the blind

Abstract

Individuals who are totally visually impaired or have weakened vision have a troublesome time exploring outside the spaces that they are acquainted with. Truth be told, physical adaptation is one of the greatest difficulties for visually impaired individuals. Voyaging or simply moving down a busy road can be challenging. Due to this, numerous individuals with low vision will like to go with a companion or relative while exploring new places. Likewise, blind individuals must remember the objects in their home condition. Items like beds, tables, and seats must not be moved without notice to avoid mishaps. In the event that a visually impaired individual lives with others, every individual from the family unit must be steadily about keeping walkways clear and all things in their assigned locations. This project addresses an assistive technology, designed and developed to facilitate conversion of the real-world scenes to voice. The system contains cameras. The view at their front is captured by the camera. This image captured by the camera is given to You Only Look Once (YOLO) to identify objects and then the description is generated using long short-term memory (LSTM) and Inception V3 model. It is converted to audio. This audio is output through the speakers. The created framework is viewed as a stage forward toward the progressions in Electronic Travel Aids, and should add to the improvement of the life of people with vision misfortune.
