Blind people guidance system
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a guidance system for blind and partially sighted people with the aim of coping in the known and unknown internal and external spaces without the assistance of human guides. This work represents a significant step forward in the application of innovative technological solutions to increase independence and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. This paper describes the technical and functional architecture of the system for orientation and guidance of a blind person using available modern technology. The described system consists of a digital sensor for determining the location by dead reckoning technique, infrared marks in space and handheld device that provides voice guidance instructions.

User Adaptation in a Pedestrian Guidance System for the Blind
Among today’s emerging pedestrian guidance systems (i.e. able to automatically answer questions of the form “How should I go from localization a to localization b ?), some are dedicated to blind people; fewer if any focus on impaired people as well as people without any deficiency. Contrary to this, the “ouvej” system relies on representing impairments as a part of the user’s profile in order t...
