Development of an assistive stereo vision system
Conference Paper, Proceedings of International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology (i-CREATe '15), November, 2015
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the development and working of an assistive vision system that utilizes stereo computer vision methods to help visually impaired individuals carry out everyday tasks in unknown environments. The proposed device would be capable of a set of behaviors, each of which supports the user in a particular set of tasks. Object detection and hand guidance, face and text detection and recognition are some of the implemented behaviours. A dynamic scheduler and frame selector are also employed to reduce computational cost by processing a frame only when a sufficient degree of change has accumulated. The system interacts with the user via an auditory output channel.
