Novel Method of Obstacle Detection and Avoidance for Visually I mpaired People

Electronic mobility aid, transforms visual information to another sensory modality, has proved be useful for visually impaired people commute confidently and independently. With recent developments in technology, more can provided that assist the user better way avoid obstacles. The paper is focused on portable aid prototype based stereo imaging help collision with algorithm segmentation of disparity image detect obstacles each segment identify probable path free about conveyed two vibrotactile sensors. was tried users. experiments were conducted terms detection obstacles, avoidance walking speed closed area different number We conclude potentially effective
