Application of temperature compensated ultrasonic ranging for blind person and verification using MATLAB

This paper contains a method to implement a mobility aid for blind person and also can be used in automatic robots, self-propelling vehicles in automated production factories etc. Model contains signal processing unit with PIC microcontroller which receives data from Ultrasonic sensor and Temperature sensor then processed it and delivers it to the computer using serial input/output port & gives alert to the blind person using voice processor with earphone. Paper contains temperature compensation method to reduce the error in measurement of distance using ultrasonic sensors. Signal processing unit contains PIC microcontroller which is used for interfacing between different sensors and computer. Then received data is verified using MATLAB.
