Enhanced navigation systems in GPS denied environments for visually impaired people: A Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
Although outdoor navigation systems are mostly dependent on GPS, indoor systems have to rely upon different techniques for localizing the user, due to unavailability of GPS signals in indoor environments. Over the past decade various indoor navigation systems have been developed. In this paper an overview of some existing indoor navigation systems for visually impaired people are presented and they are compared from different perspectives. The evaluated techniques are ultrasonic systems, RFID-based solutions, computer vision aided navigation systems, ans smartphone-based applications.

متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

متن کاملVoice Operated Outdoor Navigation System for Visually Impaired Persons
Blind People uses white canes to aid in obstacle detection & avoidance. Guide dogs can also be of limited aid for finding the way to a remote location. So our goal is to create a portable, simple less costly system that will allow Blind peoples to travel through familiar and unfamiliar environments without the aid of guides. Several guidance system has been developed for vision impaired people,...
