Smart Navigation Device for Blind People using Image Processing

Abstract

There are many thousands of blind people in the world, who frequently require palms. The white cane has been a well-known component of blind people's navigation for decades, and efforts have since been made to improve it by incorporating new sensors. Blind people arerelatively comfortable because they can pinpoint where things are, but in the outside world, matters are moving, posing a hazard to them without the necessary assistance. The mission to develop a sound navigation and range system for blind people. Here, real-time obstacle identification has been accomplished using ultrasonic sensors. To be able to create a safe pathfor navigation to a destination, image processing in real-time is used for providing the blind person’s perception of the size and distance of the obstacle utilizing raspberry pi for object detection. The suggested method makes use of a camera for recording video sequence of surroundings, which it subsequently processes using a vocal input from a person who is visually impaired. It takes the location data while moving in the (GPS) module for outdoor use andtransportedtothe cloud.
