The Impact of Computer Vision on Assisting Visually Impaired People

This research aims to develop computer vision algorithms that can provide accurate positioning data from video input, with the goal of creating a program to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating their environment.

In today’s world, artificial intelligence has been a significant new innovation. One of the prime aspects of artificial intelligence is its ability to perform computer vision, which is using machine learning to allow a computer to detect things, via camera or sensors. Computer vision has seen significant development in the past years which can be used to help people who struggle with vision. This research focuses on developing computer vision algorithms to output positioning data for people to see. It includes several steps in the coding process, such as creating an object detection model, a positioning algorithm, and finally manipulating videos to project an output. The goal of this research will be to create a working program that can take a sample video and output correct positioning instructions for a user. This work will hopefully transform the way the visually impaired can navigate the world.
