Wearable Real-Time Stereo Vision for the Visually Impaired
Visually impaired find their navigation difficult as they often lack the needed information for bypassing obstacles and hazards. Electronic Travel Aids (ETAs) are devices that use sensor technology to assist and improve the blind user’s mobility in terms of safety and speed. Modern ETAs does not provide distance information directly and clearly. This paper proposes a method for determining dist...
متن کاملA stereo vision-based aid for the visually impaired
This paper describes a portable vision-based obstacle detection system, intended for use by blind people. The system combines an obstacle detection system designed for AGVs with recalibration of ground position and a Kalman Filter based model of the person’s walking movement. The system uses stereo vision. Obstacle detection is achieved through comparison of the disparity seen with that expecte...
متن کاملA Modular Computer Vision Sonification Model for the Visually Impaired
This paper presents a Modular Computer Vision Sonification Model which is a general framework for acquisition, exploration and sonification of visual information to support visually impaired people. The model exploits techniques from Computer Vision and aims to convey as much information as possible about the image to the user, including color, edges and what we refer to as Orientation maps and...
متن کاملAccessing the Web on Handheld Devices for Visually Impaired People
In this paper, we propose an automatic summarization system to ease web browsing for visually impaired people on handheld devices. In particular, we propose a new architecture for summarizing Semantic Textual Units [2] based on efficient algorithms for linguistic treatment [3][6] which allow realtime processing and deeper linguistic analysis of web pages, thus allowing quality content visualiza...
متن کاملRestoring Vision to the Blind: Advancements in Vision Aids for the Visually Impaired
Visual impairment is a significant limitation of visual capability resulting from either disease or trauma, which cannot be restored by conventional means, such as refractive correction or medication. Ocular disorders, which can lead to visual impairments include retinal degeneration, albinism, cataracts, glaucoma, corneal disorders, diabetic retinopathy, congenital disorders, infection, and ma...
