Towards Automatic Generation of Tactile Graphics
نویسنده
چکیده
Abundant high-quality computer images are available on the Internet and elsewhere, yet many are virtually inaccessible to the blind computer user. This paper introduces research in the development of a system for automatic conversion of any digitized image into a comprehensible tactile graphic form. An experimental software and hardware system is presented, and preliminary test results are discussed.

Tumor Detection and Morphology Assessment in the Liver Tissue Using an Automatic Tactile Robot
In this paper an automatic examination robot was developed to improve the process of cancer detection, tumor localization and geometrical shape diagnosis. A uniformly distributed compressive load was applied to the top tissue surface and the resultant mechanical stress was measured that was employed for the tumor diagnosis task. The experimental examinations were performed on the soft tissue of...

In this paper the authors have presented the design and implementation of Edutactile, a crossplatform software which automates the process of creation of tactile diagrams. Edutactile provides for automated application of guidelines or presets as well as Braille translation and thus abstracts away the production related issues. This relieves special educators for the visually challenged from hav...

متن کاملDevelopment of Synchronized CUI and GUI for Universal Design Tactile Graphics Production System BPLOT3
Synchronized CUI and GUI are developed for the universal design tactile graphics production system BPLOT3. BPLOT is the first tactile graphics production system for the blind that enables the blind to produce tactile graphics by themselves. With the new synchronized CUI and GUI of BPLOT3, the blind and the sighted can collaboratively produce tactile graphics. Proofreading of tactile graphics by...
