DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SMART BLIND STICK FOR VISUALLY IMPARED PEOPLE
Abstract
The main objective of this project "Design and Construction of a Smart Blind Stick for Visually Impared People" is to detect place with the smart stick, to detect obstacles with the stick, to ensure safe-walking of the blind people and to help the blind to reach their destination safely and securely. to accomplish this, a GPS based blind stick with ultrasonic and proximity sensor for detecting obstacle was developed. it used a stereo camera and dual feedback system. a mobility aid for the blind and partially sighted people which is linked with a GSM GPS module to pinpoint the location of the user was also created. This aid also used ultrasonic sensor for detecting obstacles. A GPS navigator with audio guides for blind walking. At the end of the project I was able to get a desired smart blind stick for visually impared people.
