The problem Smart Blind Kit for Visually Impaired Person. solves
We introduce a smart kit system for assisting blind people. The smart kit comes as a proposed solution to enable visually impaired people to find difficulties in detecting obstacles and dangers in front of them during walking and to identify the world around. The system is designed to act like an artificial vision and alarm unit. GPS navigation in the Mobile can be used to guide the blind for new places and unfamiliar places. The blind man uses an earphone to listen to the navigation directions that are coming from the GPS and buzzer alarm to warn by sound. Smart Goggle performs Object Detection as well as Face Recognition and thus works as an Artificial Vision.It can also be used to read the text from an online image and can also read contents from a particular pdf.
Challenges we ran into
The main problem that we faced was the lack of computational resources on edge devices like raspberry pi as we have to perform computationally complex tasks such as object detection, face recognition . We came over the problem by setting up our own rest api to perform artificial intelligence as a service on our own servers as well as we used tiny versions of models for object detection
