Indoor Navigation by People with Visual Impairment Using a Digital Sign System
There is a need for adaptive technology to enhance indoor wayfinding by visually-impaired people. To address this need, we have developed and tested a Digital Sign System. The hardware and software consist of digitally-encoded signs widely distributed throughout a building, a handheld sign-reader based on an infrared camera, image-processing software, and a talking digital map running on a mobi...
متن کاملIndoor Navigation System based on Passive RFID Transponder with Digital Compass for Visually Impaired People
Conventionally, visually impaired people using white cane or guide dog for traveling to desired destination. However, they could not identify their surround easily. Hence, this paper describes the development of navigation system which is applied to guide the visually impaired people at an indoor environment.

متن کاملAn Agent-based Indoor Wayfinding Based on Digital Sign System
Developing effective urban planning approaches is a major challenge for outdoor and indoor environments. Wayfinding in unfamiliar indoor environments is a prime task which everyone would be encountered. The development of assistive technologies to aid wayfinding is hampered by the lack of reliable and cost-efficient methods providing location information in the environment. We have applied RFID...
متن کاملEvaluating a Visual Navigation System for a Digital Library
In this paper we investigate a general purpose interactive information organization system. The system organizes documents by placing them into 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional space based on their similarity and a spring-embedding algorithm. We begin by designing a method for estimating the quality of the organization when it is applied to a set of documents returned in response to a query. We show ho...
