Design and Construction of Electronic Aid Fow Visually

Impaired People using Tensor flow

ABSTRACT:

Visually impaired people face unique challenges in their day to day life
while navigating in unfamiliar public locations. Using a walking stick relies
on trial and error, particularly in unfamiliar locations. Also from a walking
stick the user can only identify obstacles which are touching the stick and
cannot identify the obstacles which are above his waist heightIn this
devices that use sensor technology to assist and improve the blind users
mobility in terms of safety. In this context, we implement a system whose
objective is to give blind users the ability to move around in unfamiliar
environment, whether indoor or outdoor, through an interface specifically
designed to cater the visual imperfections. This system grants the user the
ability to travel independently with an automated alerting system designed
for emergencies. The obstacles are detected using image processing and
distance sensing. A navigation system was developed to assist the user via
web access.

Overview of Domain:

The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and

economic significance. Consumer products, durable goods, cars and
trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday
objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data
analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and
play. Projections for the impact of IoT on the Internet and economy are
impressive, with some anticipating as many as 100 billion connected IoT
devices and a global economic impact of more than $11 trillion by 2025.
At the same time, however, the Internet of Things raises significant
challenges that could stand in the way of realizing its potential benefits.
Attention-grabbing headlines about the hacking of Internet-connected
devices, surveillance concerns, and privacy fears already have captured
public attention. Technical challenges remain and new policy, legal and
development challenges are emerging.
