Bimodal Based Environmental Awareness System for Visually Impaired People

AbstractThe paper describes the Object detection and recognition along with interpretation is considered as minimum survival requirements to all the creatures in the world. Especially, the human beings rule the world because of their known interpretation survival tactics than any other animals. Automatic interpretation of objects eventually event reaction makes an environment a further better place to live. This paper implements a method to track and recognize the object in a surveillance area of the visually impaired people. In order to survive in the real world, visually impaired people have to be aware of the environment. Visually impaired people need some assistance in order to move from one place to another in day to day life. It might be in a dependent manner with the help of others or in an independent manner with the help of canes, trained dogs to guide them. In both the cases the significant objective of them is to detect the obstacle in front of them and avoiding it while moving. With the advent of electronic technologies self-assistive devices are made to help them. The system should be able to report the location, distance and direction of items in the room such as equipment, furniture, doors and even other users. It must be a reliable system that minimizes the impact of installation and maintenance. A great number of benefits are realized from the implementation of systems, such as greater safety and eventually, better enhanced quality of life
