design and implementation of a smart device to solve and simplify the problem of identifying obstacles using sensors and computer vision solutions.
The purpose of this project is to solve the difficulty of blind people in moving from one place to another place and simplify their day to day activities. As we all know most blind people depend on other people’s guidance and a hand held stick to avoid obstacles and walk outside. In this project we design and implement a smart device to solve and simplify the problem of identifying obstacles using sensors and computer vision solutions. This device will include proximity sensors to sense the distance from obstacles, light sensors to sense the light conditions of the environment, moisture sensor to sense water, USB web cam and raspberry pi to achieve the desired goal. All the data gathered by the sensors and the camera is fed to the raspberry pi in order to get processed inform the user. It will also include a buzzer to notify the user that an obstacle has been detected. The device will benefit visually impaired poeople navigate to any place without the need of other people’s guidance
