The application system presented here is for use in an Android based mobile phone by the visually impaired for detecting objects in their vicinity, which will help them move around safely, without crashing into objects. The detection of objects is done from a real time video taken from the mobile phone camera. People and objects are detected from this video using OpenCV, YOLO and FaceNet. If a human is detected, the system identifies the person. His identity will then be converted into audio and presented to the user. Similarly, objects detected in the vicinity will be presented in audio format to the user.
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.
