Abstract
The visually impaired need to confront several problems while performing their daily activities. Independent navigation becomes one of the major problems in their social life. This issue further deteriorates when they travel across new unknown environments. This paper provides an efficient solution for the visually impaired in the form of a hardware automated stick based on Google's Cloud Video Intelligence API. This system uses real time video processing to analyze the obstacles or objects coming in the path of the blind and provides feedback in the form of voice messages. Hence the system facilitates real time navigation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Also the cost effectiveness and the versatility of the system make it more adaptive and easy to use.
