Camera-Based Assistive Text to Audio Converter for Blind Persons
Subscribe/Renew Journal
We provide a text reading system using camera to assist blind persons to read text on labels and product from portable objects in their day to day life. To use the object on unclear backgrounds or other objects in the camera angle, we initially propose an effective motion based method to select the region of interest (ROI) in the video by telling the user to shake the object. This system identifies moving object region by a mixture-of-Gaussians-based BGS technique. In the obtained ROI, recognition and text localization are conducted to gather text details.
