AI-Based Object Detection and Smart Navigation System for the Visually Impaired

A Multi-Modal Deep Learning Framework for Assistive Vision: Software-Based Design and Real-Time Validation

The development of an intelligent visual aid incorporating object detection, face recognition, distance estimation, distance estimation, and text-to-speech audio feedback is outlined.

Smart Sight: A Comprehensive Deep Learning Framework for Real-Time Assistive Navigation and Object Recognition for Visually Impaired Individuals

Visual impairment is a universal health burden, and one of the most pressing concerns in the world, as it is estimated that there are 2.2 billion afflicted persons in the world, which is highly constraining in their free movements, their interactions with the surrounding, as well as on their social interrelation. White...

SignSpeak: An AI-Based Utility for Visually Impaired Individuals

Visually impaired people (VIP) need assistive technology for smooth and confident navigation on pavements along the roads. VIPs find it hard to follow the speech generated through a text-to-audio converter due to the presence of advertisement text. Automating the process of audio conversion from the signboards by integ...

Context-Aware Real-Time Assistive Navigation using Deep Learning and Voice Feedback for Complex Environments

JU-EYE: AI-Based Assistive Navigation System Using RGB-D Perception and Intelligent Path Planning

Within the framework of assistive technologies for visually impaired users, this paper introduces JU-EYE robot, a smart simulation-based navigation system that is meant to be used on the University of Jordan campus. The proposed system combines a depth-enabled camera (RGB-D) with a YOLO detection model to categorize ob...

Hybrid Navigation Framework with Computer Vision and GPS for Visually Impaired Users

A hybrid navigation framework is proposed to improve mobility assistance for visually impaired users by incorporating GPS-based turn-by-turn guidance with real-time vision-based obstacle detection. Current navigation systems offer directional guidance but are not aware of dynamic environmental obstacles, making them le...
