Re-Vision: Spectacles for the Visually Challenged
International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering · 2020
The primary issue faced by all types of visually challenged people around the globe is their self-independence. They feel dependent on every task they want to perform in their daily lives and this acts as an obstacle to the exciting things which they would otherwise want to do. This paper proposes a solution in the form of wearable smart spectacles which works on the Raspberry Pi Platform for making the visually challenged people self-sufficient and move freely in their known as well as unknown surroundings. This smart Spectacle uses a USB (Universal Serial Bus) camera and detects real-time objects in the vicinity using the SSD-MobileNets object detection algorithm and provides vision in the form of audio through the use of Headphones. The Smart Spectacles also combines the use of the OCR algorithm for Text Detection and proposes the module for quick and accurate detection of currency by the visually challenged.
