Designs of an Effective Smart Walking Stick for Visually Disabled

Technology is providing every individual the comfort & ease that is desired by them. Presently evolved sensors have limited human senses pretty well. In the view of this, efforts are undergoing to build up a helping mechanism for those individuals who are visually disabled.A Smart Walking stick based on various sensors may help an individual to perform daily activities easily. Many research activities are undergoing to develop a full-fledged version for it. In this paper, we will try to review most successful concepts and look into the constraints occurring in building smart stick. Then, we will realize camera based image processing as an effective solution, allowing texture recognition, face recognition & text recognition to support visual disability.
