Assistance and Rehabilitation for Visually Impaired using Image Processing

Abstract

Visually impaired people find it difficult to identify unknown objects. Some objects may cause harm to them and in this pandemic situation it is not safe to touch each and every object even it is not harmful. The Project that we preferred is to find solution to overcome problems faced by visually-impaired people using object detection. Object detection is an image processing technology that helps us to retrieve data from an image and identify the object. This system can help to detect the objects with its characteristics with the use of image processing techniques. In this system some feature extraction algorithms like SURF are developed to extracting the important features of the object. After feature extraction the extracted values are compared and classified by the classifier algorithm like KNN. The overall concepts are developed and recognized by mat lab software.
