Title
Integrated machine vision and communication system for blind navigation and guidance
Abstract
This paper investigates methods and procedures to construct an efficient system to assist blinds in their everyday life. In particular, various technologies that can be utilized to build a wearable system are examined. The machine vision and the communication component of the blind navigation and guidance is designed not only to map the surroundings environment but also to determine a safe path to a desired destination. This work highlights the importance and also provides the instructions to blinds for efficient navigation and safe guidance by incorporating local traffic/pedestrian and alarming signs in real-time.
