Abstract

For those who are blind or visually impaired, obstacle detection and warning systems can increase both their safety and mobility, especially in strange places. Initially, impediments are identified and located, and then, visually impaired individuals are notified about the barriers through several modalities, including audio. We offer an assistive system for visually impaired individuals in this project, which is built on the models of Google Speech and TensorFlow object detection.
