Dipika Gophane · International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology · 2020
Science and technology always attempt to make human life easier.The people who are having complete blindness or low vision face many difficulties.Blindness can occur because of many reasons including disease, injury or other conditions that limit vision.The purpose of this project is to develop an aid for the blind or the visually impaired people.In this project, we design and implement a smart device which helps the blind.The scene around the person will be captured by using a camera and the objects in the scene will be identified.The earphones will give a voice output describing the identified objects.Not every text content is present in a Braille language so, an effort has also made to convert a text content into an audio format for the visually impaired person.The architecture of the system includes the processor Raspberry Pi, Pi camera, headset and a power supply.The processor collects the frames of the surroundings and convert it to voice output.Softwares like Putty, Python 3.5 and Tensorflow will be used to develop the project.Manual testing will be performed for testing the hardware components used in the system.Whereas, for software testing automated testing will be performed to check the working of the overall software contents.
