This project is a mobile-based navigation aid for visually impaired users.
It uses YOLOv8 for real-time object detection and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to read aloud text from captured images via TTS (Text-to-Speech).
The system is designed to improve safety and independence for visually impaired individuals during outdoor navigation.
- Real-time object detection using YOLOv8
- Distance estimation to trigger alerts when obstacles are within 3 meters
- OCR integration to extract and read aloud text from images
- WebSocket-based TTS alerts that operate alongside navigation guidance
- Backend: Django, Spring Boot
- Computer Vision: YOLO
- OCR: Naver Clova OCR
- Environment: Windows
