Document Reader for the Visually Disabled
In this paper, we present a system for reading documents, which can be used by the visually disabled by themselves. Our system uses speech to transmit the information to the users. To cope with the slowness of the information transmission speed caused by the onedimensionality of speech, the logical structure of the scanned documents is extracted and used to accelerate access to the information....
متن کاملWearable Master Device Using Optical Fiber Curvature Sensors for the Disabled
This paper addresses a wearable master device for physically handicapped persons whose arms are disabled. Optical fiber curvature sensors are used to measure the human body motion. For the developed wearable master device, a calibration and mapping method of the sensors is proposed to extract 2-DOF human shoulder motions. An experiment shows that the wearable master device can be used for a 2-D...
متن کاملWearable Smart System for Visually Impaired People
In this paper, we present a wearable smart system to help visually impaired persons (VIPs) walk by themselves through the streets, navigate in public places, and seek assistance. The main components of the system are a microcontroller board, various sensors, cellular communication and GPS modules, and a solar panel. The system employs a set of sensors to track the path and alert the user of obs...
متن کاملAn Application Framework for Wearable Cognitive Assistance
Wearable cognitive assistance applications can provide guidance for many facets of a user’s daily life. This thesis targets the enabling of a new genre of such applications that require both heavy computation and very low response time on inputs from mobile devices. The core contribution of this thesis is the design, implementation, and evaluation of Gabriel, an application framework that simpl...
متن کاملSensor Based Assistance System for Visually Impaired
This paper is focussed to develop an electronic navigation system for visually impaired, that makes use of sensors for obstacle detection. People who are visually impaired struggle every day in performing actions that can be as simple as moving from one point to another without falling down or knocking against obstacles. An Electronic Travel Aid (ETA) is a form of assistive technology having th...
