Multifunctional Device for Blind People

Blindness is a state of lacking the visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. In the existing system only specific functions are available whereas in this proposed system more than three functions are integrated together. In this project, simple, cheap and user-friendly smart blind guidance system is designed and implemented to improve the mobility of blind and visually impaired people. The project includes wearable equipment comprising earphones. It is connected to raspberry-pi in order to perform the functions such as obstacle detection, face recognition, image to speech conversion and currency detection to help the visually impaired people to move anywhere without the help of others. In this project image processing with Haar classifier algorithm and ANN algorithm is used to perform the functions. Citation: A.
