Artificial Intelligence based Smart Supporting Device for the Visually Impaired
Abstract
Finding the target location for the blind people is the challenging problem in their locality. So, there is a need for design an effective, secure and smart walking stick to support the visually challenged peoples. In this paper, a novel method is designed based in the optimization-based techniques. The main motivation behind this work is to support the blind people for easy walking without any difficulty in finding the path. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using the real time environment with Arduino kit. The evaluation reveals that the designed model efficiently supports for the path finding for the visually impaired peoples.
