Abstract:

Contemporary developments in computer vision and artificial intelligence show promise to greatly improve the lives of those with disabilities. In this paper, we propose one such development: a wearable object recognition device in the form of eyewear. Our device is specialized to recognize items from the produce section of a grocery store, but serves as a proof of concept for any similar object recognition wearable. It is user friendly, featuring buttons that are pressed to capture images with the built-in camera. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to train the object recognition system. After the object is recognized, a text-to-speech system is utilized to inform the user which object they are holding in addition to the price of the product. With accuracy rates of 99.35%, our product has proven to successfully identify objects with greater correctness than existing models.
