Object Localization for Impaired Vision using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This paper will suggest object localization module, an artificial intelligence powered driven system modeled to help visually challenged individuals or a person suffering from dementia. This model will help them in their daily routine tasks in locating misplaced objects. To accomplish this task we are going to implement artificial intelligence based techniques such as speech recognition, generating speech, object detection and image processing. This will help the system to understand the user's request and will respond accordingly. This system consists of four major units: a) a speech unit, b) a image processing unit, c) an object detection unit, and d) a logic unit. The speech unit interacts with user and will listen to user’s verbal query and verbally answers to the user. The image processing unit processes the image with the help of deep learning modules. The object detection unit detects all the target and non-target objects in a scene. Then, the logic unit sends the object location and description to the speech unit. This will help us to create most usable system to help visually impaired people.
