Recognizing of Text and Product Label from Hand Held Entity Intended for Visionless Persons

Our proposed work involves recognizing text and product label reading from portable entities intended for Visionless Persons using Raspberry Pi 3, ultrasonic sensor. Raspberry Pi 3 is the controller used in the proposed device. GPS is fixed in the system and it is used to find the exact location of the person in terms of longitude and latitude, this information is sent to the caretaker through e mail. The caretaker can use the latitude and longitude to find the address on Google Maps. The camera is used to identify the obstacle or object ahead and the output is told to the blind user in speech form. The camera also identifies objects with words on them, using image processing these images are converted to text, and using Tesseract the text is converted to speech, thus giving the speech output to the blind about what is written on the object. RF ID is used to find the stick using tags. The buzzer goes ON to identify the location of the stick. A threshold value for distance between the user and the stick is set, when the distance is less than the threshold value, the buzzer sound increases. Arunkumar. V | Aswin M. D | Bhavan. S | Gopinath.
