Abstract
”Visual Information is the basis for most of the tasks, so visually impaired people
are at the disadvantage because necessary information about the surrounding environment
is not available.The objective of this project is to guide unsighted people
with smart device using an Android Phone.This device is an innovative and cause
effective guide system for Visually Impaired People(VIP). This system based on
Android technology and designed for trying to solve the impossible situation that
afflicts the blind people. This paper presents camera based system which will help
blind person for reading text patterns printed on documents. This is the framework
to assist visually impaired persons to read text patterns and convert it into the audio
output. To obtain the object from the background and extract the text pattern from
that object, the system first proposes the method that will capture the image from the
camera and object region is detected.The text patterns are localized and binarized
using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The recognized text is converted to an
audio output. Therefore, this project deals with analysis of detection and recognition
of different text patterns on different documents.
To help the blind people the visual world has to be transformed into the audio
world with the potential to inform them about objects.The inability to identify people
during group meetings is a disadvantage for blind people in many professional
and educational situations. To explore the efficiency of face recognition using smartphones
in these settings, we have prototyped and tested a face recognition tool for
blind users. The tool utilizes Smartphone technology in conjunction with a wireless
network to provide audio feedback of the people in front of the blind user.
