Artificial Intelligence Vision For Visually Impaired

The object detection concept is widely used for automation or tracking purpose; hence, it is used in self-driving cars. There are many applications other than automation that use object detection but are not explored in depth till date. This research involves one such application that uses object detection to help the visually impaired to identify the objects ahead of them for safe navigation. A few attempts have been previously made to implement such a device, but it was only confined to small objects. The results show that the proposed system implements both object detection and an ultrasonic sensor and GPS module to monitor location. SSD- Mobile Net is used to implement the object detection to obtain greater accuracy.
