AI-Based Smart Visual Assistance System for Navigation, Guidance, and Monitoring of Visually Impaired People

This project provides a comprehensive service combining object detection, text recognition, navigation guidance, and impediment detection for the visibly injured. The system uses the Raspberry Pi as the main controller, computer vision algorithms for object detection, and optical character recognition (OCR) is used to extract text from captured images. Google Maps API makes navigation easier by planning routes and directions. Various sensors, including ultrasonic and MEMS accelerometers, detect obstacles and track user movements. Feedback is provided through conversations produced and reports heard. Reports are sent to expert trainers to increase safety in an emergency. The system is designed to improve the mobility and independence of visually impaired users by providing situational awareness of the environment, aiding navigation, preventing distractions, and providing access to visual information.
