- Abstract
-
Proper navigation and detailed perception in familiar or unfamiliar
environments are the main roles for human life. Eyesight sense helps
humans to abstain from all kinds of dangers and navigate to indoor and
outdoor environments. These are challenging activities for blind people
in all environments. Many assistive tools have been developed by the
blessing of technology like braille compasses and white canes that help
them to navigate around in the environment. A vision and cloud-based
navigation system for the visually impaired or blind person was
developed. Our aim was not only to navigate them but also to perceive
the environment in as much detail as a normal person. The proposed
system includes ultrasonic sensors detecting obstacles, stereo camera to
capture videos to perceive the environment using deep learning
algorithms. Face recognition approach identified known faces in front of
him. Blind people interacted with the whole system through a speech
recognition module and all the information was stored in the cloud. Web
and android applications were developed to track blinds so that
guardians were monitoring them while visiting and reached them in an
emergency. The experimental results showed the proposed system could
provide more plenty information and user-friendly interaction.
