Mobility is one of the major problems encountered by the visually impaired people in their daily life. So they need assistance for their mobility. The main aim of this project is to provide an economical smart travelling guide for the visually impaired. This device is designed in the way that it will detect the static obstacles, moving obstacles such as human and vehicles by the use of array of ultrasonic sensors and camera. Haar cascade classifier is used to detect the moving obstacles from the camera. The intimation about the obstacles are given to the visually impaired by the use of buzzer. Various devices are available in the market which are designed in a way that are to be held in the hands. The advantage of this project is to provide a smart travelling guide for the visually impaired with hands free environment.

Abstract


Mobility is one of the major problems encountered by the visually impaired people in their daily life. So they need assistance for their mobility. The main aim of this project is to provide an economical smart travelling guide for the visually impaired. This device is designed in the way that it will detect the static obstacles, moving obstacles such as human and vehicles by the use of array of ultrasonic sensors and camera. Haar cascade classifier is used to detect the moving obstacles from the camera. The intimation about the obstacles are given to the visually impaired by the use of buzzer. Various devices are available in the market which are designed in a way that are to be held in the hands. The advantage of this project is to provide a smart travelling guide for the visually impaired with hands free environment.
