A Wearable Translation Robot

In this paper, we introduce an intelligent glasses, which can automatically translate multiple languages in real-time, called wearable translation robot. This paper proposes the concept of the system and demonstrates the advantages of the device over other existed systems. The paper presents the system architecture and the functions of components in the system. We then focus on the most crucial technical component, text detection. The paper proposes a novel algorithm based on the fundamental characteristics of all the characters in common use called CIC-based text detection algorithm. We show the effectiveness of the proposed methods, and define some future works.
