“…D.P. Khairnar et al [2] proposed a VI (Visually Impaired) Assistant System assisting the users by performing obstacle recognition, obstacle avoidance, indoor and outdoor navigation, and real-time location sharing. The solution suggests using a model based on CNN employed using TensorFlow and COCO dataset for object detection.…”

Visually impaired people are individuals who have a partial or complete loss of vision. This condition can vary in severity, from mild to profound, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, injury, illness, or aging. It's important to note that visually impaired people are a diverse group with different needs and abilities, and they should be treated with respect and given equal access to opportunities and resources. Smart applications can be extremely helpful for visually impaired people by providing them with information and assistance in navigating their environment. Moreover, can greatly enhance the independence and quality of life for visually impaired people. Many applications have been proposed with individual features set and other concerns due to are expensive, difficult to use, less affordable, less accessible and are an overhead while travelling. To solving these issues, in this paper we design an android Application - Smart Vision (SV) to aid the Visually Impaired people in every possible realm of daily pursuits like for their diurnal regressions around the house/office place, taking notes of their daily affairs, recognizing the people around, identifying the colours etc. Smart Vision would enable the visually impaired to have a better user experience as the whole working of the application is divided into 6 modules - Obstacle Avoidance and Navigation Module, Digital Assistant Module, Scene Description Module, Light Detection Module, Colour Detection Module and Face Detection Module, which can be easily selected by giving a single voice command. Smart Vision is exclusively designed by keeping the memory and battery constraints of the application within permissible limits ensuring the reliability, portability and cost effectiveness to the grieved end user to make life beautiful for them. Smart Vision enables detection of the desired object with a 90% accuracy, face recognition with an accuracy of 87%, colour detection with an approximate accuracy of 75%, Digital assistant module accuracy as 91% and light detection (for light and dark intensities) minimum accuracy is 82%. It has been interpreted that the Average Response Time is under 3 seconds which makes it a high-speed device because the Raspberry pi is used for connecting the components which reduces the transit time. Finally, a comparative study has been done with the existing topologies and it is so found that the Smart Vision is applicable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

“…The good quality of an interface design is important for the success of a website [18]. The authors proposed a system in reference Khairnar et al [19] that effectively assisted the visually impaired. Their system consisted of a simple architecture and different modules, which made it easy to use.…”

Portable assistive technology systems are developed to enhance the capability of persons with disabilities. One of the most important senses for humans is vision. Vision is the most important sense which helps us in understanding the perception of the surrounding environment. Visually impaired persons face a lot of difficulty in understanding the perception around them, particularly in outdoor environment where objects are continuously changing and moving from one place to another. Object detection solutions would greatly assist visually impaired persons in avoiding from the barriers which they face in their daily routine life. The aim of the object detection system is to provide a simple, user-friendly, handy, economical and efficient solution for the visually impaired persons. Motive of this system is to develop a solution that detects the objects present using camera, as the input device in real time and communicate the same to the user using smartphone through headphones. The system would be using an audio device such as speakers or headphones in providing the information about objects to assist the visually impaired persons. The proposed system helps in identifying and avoiding the objects both in outdoor and indoor environments that affect day to day life activities and occupational performance of the visually impaired persons. The information about the objects in surrounding environment would be very much helpful to the visually impaired persons in their daily life.
