Smart Eye for Visually Impaired-An aid to help the blind people

摘要

This paper presents an idea of developing a smart system which can assist the visually impaired people in their daily activities. Actually, there are many challenges faced by visually impaired people. In most cases, they require constant support in almost all scenarios especially in their day to day activities. Some of the major challenges include difficulty in moving from one place to another without the assistance of someone. Other challenges include difficulty in recognizing people, detecting obstacles, etc. In order to count avert this situation, we propose a “smart eye system” in this work. The device is a voice enabled system that would direct the visually challenged person in their day to day works. The device combines the various available technologies and integrates them into a single multipurpose device that can be used by the visually impaired. The paper discusses about the design of such a system and the challenges involved in designing the device.
