AI based VisionAid for Visually Impaired People
Overview
The project aims to assist blind individuals by providing them with real-time information about their surroundings. This innovative system comprises glasses equipped with a camera, which is connected to a mobile phone. The mobile phone runs a customized neural network model capable of processing video feeds at up to 30 frames per second. The system offers several key functionalities to enhance the independence and safety of visually impaired users.
Components
1. Smart Glasses with Camera
– Lightweight and comfortable glasses integrated with a high-definition camera.
– The camera captures real-time video of the user’s surroundings.
2. Mobile Phone Integration
– The camera on the glasses is connected to a mobile phone via a wired or wireless connection.
– The mobile phone acts as the processing hub, running advanced neural network models.
3. Custom Neural Network Model
– Optimized for mobile architecture to ensure efficient processing and real-time performance.
– Capable of handling up to 30 frames per second, providing smooth and continuous feedback.
Key Features
1. Recognize Known Persons
– Description: The system can identify and recognize individuals who are known to the user.
– Functionality: Using facial recognition technology, the model can match faces captured by the camera with a pre-stored database of known persons.
– Benefit: This feature helps users identify friends, family members, and colleagues, providing a sense of connection and safety.
2. Provide Scene Contextual Information
– Description: The system offers a detailed description of the surrounding environment.
– Functionality: Leveraging advanced computer vision and natural language processing, the model can analyze the scene and provide audio descriptions of the environment, such as “You are in a park with trees and benches around you.”
– Benefit: This feature helps users understand their surroundings, making them more aware and informed about where they are.
3. Assist in Navigation
– Description: The system provides guidance for safe navigation through different environments.
– Functionality: By analyzing the visual data, the model can detect obstacles and suggest the best paths to avoid them. It can also provide directional cues and guide users to their destinations.
– Benefit: This feature enhances the mobility and independence of blind individuals, allowing them to move around more confidently and safely.
4. Estimate Distance to Objects
– Description: The system offers rough distance estimations to objects in the user’s vicinity.
– Functionality: Using depth estimation techniques, the model can gauge the distance to various objects, alerting users about nearby obstacles and providing spatial awareness.
– Benefit: This feature helps users navigate spaces more effectively, reducing the risk of collisions and enhancing their spatial understanding.
We know that time is valuable, so we designed the app to provide fast turnaround times. You can create beautiful collages in just a few minutes, making it perfect for anyone who needs to create collages quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re creating a collage for your personal use or for a professional project, our app makes it easy and hassle-free.
Conclusion
Our project combines cutting-edge technology with practical application to significantly improve the daily lives of blind individuals. By providing real-time, actionable information about their surroundings, we aim to enhance their independence, safety, and overall quality of life.
