Abstract

Individuals with visual impairment have trouble navigating, as they often lack the knowledge they need to overcome obstacles and hazards in their path. Software has been developed to identify obstacles using ultrasonic sensor-based visual navigation and a USB camera to help blind people to survive safely. The proposed system detects the obstacles to warn the blind persons and avoid the accidents by sending the audio feedback by using the Arduino. Furthermore, a USB camera is attached to a raspberry to capture the persons in front of them, in particular to locate a human being in the sense of this research to determine the properties of the obstacle. Identification of human presence in the cloth fabric is based on facial recognition and texture checking. The proposed system also allows the visually impaired to read books without third party assistance.
