This paper presents a personal guidance system to help the visually impaired people to face the world independently; this is achieved by transferring visual world into the audio world by alerting them with a voice message. Navigation assistance is included with object detection, so object interference in the path of navigation the vision deprived person is alerted about the object in the path. The system is also implemented with an IOT based load control to help them with household objects; the load control can be operated with the help of Blynk Application which is made enable with voice assistant. In this project we have used an algorithm, real time object detection using deep learning. This model is trained with more images to recognize an object. OCR is implemented for the reading assistance module in this system.

“…At present, the commercial smart canes can be divided into two categories: (1) Electronic Travel Aid (ETAs), such as ultrasonic, millimeter wave, infrared, IMU, vision, laser smart canes, etc., which can collect the environmental information of the visually impaired; (2) Electronic Orientation Aid (EOAs), such as GPS and GIS smart cane, which can determine the exact location of the visually impaired. Since the initial development of smart guide technology, ultrasonic sensor [ 18 ], infrared sensor [ 19 ], camera [ 20 ], Lidar [ 21 ], laser ranging scanner [ 22 ], millimeter-wave radar [ 23 ], color sensor [ 24 ], electronic compass [ 25 ], (IMU) Inertial Measurement Unit [ 26 ], (RFID)Radio Frequency Identification [ 27 ], GPS (Global Positioning System) [ 28 ] and GIS (Geographic Information System) [ 29 ], VR technology [ 30 ], virtual cane [ 31 ] and other sensors or schemes are flooded into the research and development of smart canes. Since these schemes use a single or two sensors, the function of this kind of smart cane is relatively simple, and it can only obtain certain information about obstacles in the environment around the visually impaired, such as direction, distance, shape, size, color, position and others, but no comprehensive environmental data around.…”

Laser sensing and vision sensing smart canes can improve the convenience of travel for the visually impaired, but for the present, most of the system functions of laser sensing and vision sensing smart canes are still defective. Guide equipment and smart blind canes are introduced and classified first, and the smart blind canes based on vision sensing, laser sensing and laser vision sensing are investigated, respectively, and the research status of laser vision sensing smart blind canes is sorted out. The advantages and disadvantages of various laser vision sensing smart blind canes are summarized, especially the research development of laser vision fusion as the core of new smart canes. The future development prospects of laser vision sensing smart blind cane are overviewed, to boost the development of laser vision sensing smart blind cane, to provide safe and efficient travel guarantee for the visually impaired.
