Blind people have difficulty in navigating due to the limited sensing they are capable of. In this research, we design a stick tool that can distinguish objects in the form of humans, animals and inanimate object based on camera. Processing is carried out with the Raspberry Pi with a webcam camera as input and indicators in the form of a buzzer and vibrator. The feature extraction process is carried out by deep learning using the tensorflow library and image processing using the Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) method. Tests were carried out on human objects, animals (cats), and inanimate objects (chairs and tables) for indoor and outdoor conditions and obtained an accuracy of 92%, a sensitivity of 83%, and a specificity of 100%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
