Smart Blind Stick with Real Time Image Processing

Abstract

Navigating independently presents a significant difficulty for individuals who are visually impaired, especially because of dynamic obstacles and changing environments. Conventional aids, such as the white cane, often fail to provide comprehensive information about the surroundings. This project introduces a Smart Blind Stick designed to enhance safety and dignity for its users. The device incorporates ultrasonic and gyroscopic sensors alongside a deep learning model for image processing, enabling it to detect objects, people, and general hazards in real-time.
