ANDROID BASED OBJECT RECOGNITION AND MOTION DETECTION TO AID VISUALLY IMPAIRED
Neha Bari, Nilesh R. Kamble · 2014
In this paper we present the main features of software modules dedicated to the aid of visually impaired or blind users. The main aim of developing this software is to reduce or eliminate the need of separate dedicated devices for object recognition and motion detection. The software modules are designed for Android operating system, used in majority of the smartphones today. There are two main trainable (ANN based)modules, namely, the object recognition module and the motion detection module. Image processing algorithms used to identify the objects and detect motion are described. Notification to the users is given by means of verbal messages in this system.
