Enhanced Perception for Visually Impaired People

Abstract: Visually impaired or blind people have a reduced ability to perceive their environment. The accessible environment is drastically constrained by the length of canes. Numerous approaches e.g. ultrasound enhanced canes did not solve the problem. Most of them use the auditory system for information transfer, which is not appreciated by the blind because acoustics are already involved in the spatial orientation.It is proposed to use fast 3D object recognition (3D camera) in conjunction with a priority based inform… Show more

“…For the cane, the length constrains the accessible environment, sample rate is very low and only one dimensional information can be detected. Guide dogs seem more ideal than canes to perceive the environment, but they are quite expensive and sometimes not sufficient for a task [1]. Over the past decades, numerous electronic assistive devices have been developed for safe and independent mobility of the blind.…”
