Intelligent Glasses for the Visually Impaired with Google Cloud API

Visually challenged people struggle in their day to day life. People face difficulty in identifying objects, reading and navigation. Canes help them to detect obstacles during traveling. The Idea of this research work is to develop an auxiliary device with sensors that could be connected to ordinary glasses. The Camera provided with the device continuously captures images from the real time environment. The Images are processed with Machine learning algorithms in google vision API. Proposed model informs the user about the obstacles they face during navigation and the travel route. The device can determine the obstacle in front of the user and notify the user about the danger. It also helps the user to read out a text from a label or a document. The API provides a speech based Interface. The user can use voice to activate the device and process the information. The device also interacts with the user through voice.
