Obstacle Avoidance System for Assisting Visually Impaired People
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the paper is focused on the design of an obstacle avoidance system for assisting visually impaired people. A disparity map will be generated thanks to the use of a stereo camera carried by the user. Working on this map will allow to develop an algorithm for the obstacle detection in any kind of scenario. The design will be completed with the introduction of audio signal to assist the blind person to avoid obstacles. To do that, we will use the frequency of the signal to codify the obstacle’s angle and its intensity to codify proximity. Some experimental results are presented as well as the conclusions and the future works.

Simple Smartphone-Based Guiding System for Visually Impaired People
Visually impaired people are often unaware of dangers in front of them, even in familiar environments. Furthermore, in unfamiliar environments, such people require guidance to reduce the risk of colliding with obstacles. This study proposes a simple smartphone-based guiding system for solving the navigation problems for visually impaired people and achieving obstacle avoidance to enable visuall...
متن کاملA Bio-inspired Obstacle Avoidance System Concept for Visually Impaired People
A device that could assist a blind or a visually impaired human and also replace the traditional tools like white canes or guiding dogs can be really challenging. An important condition for a person to move freely in an enviroment is to be able to detect any obstacle which may interfere with the trajectory of motion in order to avoid a possible collision with that obstacle. This article present...

متن کاملWearable Obstacle Detection System for visually impaired People
This paper presents an obstacle detection system for visually impaired people. User can be alerted of closed obstacles in range while traveling in their environment. The system we propose detects the nearest obstacle via a stereoscopic sonar system and sends back vibro-tactile feedback to inform the user about its localization. The system aims at increasing the mobility of visually impaired peo...
