Object Detection and Tracking for the Visually Impaired with YOLO 11

The latest advancements in AI and computer vision technology can grant artificial eyes to those who have not seen the world. With computer vision model YOLO 11, this is becoming a reality. This is a solution, which can empower blind people to "see" their surroundings through their ears. The people who are blind have had to depend heavily on others to carry out daily activities or simple tasks like traveling, reading, or counting currency are significant challenges. While it may not be possible to restore solution vision to everyone, we can use other senses to mitigate these difficulties. By using AI and computer vision, we are not just giving vision means sight to machines, but also providing enhanced sensory experiences like ears and a mouth. The same technology can provide eyes, ears, and even a mouth to humans who lack them. In this experiment we have taken small steps to aid those with visual impairments, enabling them to navigate their world with ease and confidence.Through this small experiment, blind people can detect approaching objects and respond accordingly. By utilizing a custom-trained model, the model can recognize familiar persons, surroundings, text (OCR), currency, and even obstacles like potholes on roads. The model can detect and track these nearby elements, generating text that is then converted into sound. Blind individuals can listen to this audio through earphones in real time and navigate their environment with greater independence and confidence.
