Desarrollo de un sistema de asistencia para personas con discapacidad visual en un ambiente estructurado empleando visión artificial.

Abstract

In everyday life we carry out simple activities; how standing in line at a bank, asking about how to enroll in a program in the city hall, also using some type of exercise machine in the parks or the simple task of ordering your food through the menu in a restaurant, but all this, It’s complicated for people with visual disabilities, because they need someone to tell them about the site where they are, read a notice or sign, also tell them what to do in the place or describe an object; all this, they must do in their daily lives. There are many ways for this peoples to solve their needs, such as, for example, adver tices marked with Braille, using their memory, electronic devices and smart phones. This project is part of the development of an assistance system to inform, guide, give instructions and locate people with visual disabilities by implementing visual pattern recognition by means of artificial vision through the camera of a mobile device, pre viously identifying some of the situations and needs these people have in a preselected structured environment; The system will recognize visual patterns designed with the function of defining instructions to the system, it will emit the info through audio on a speaker, giving guidance, warning or instruction to the user through the mobile elec tronic device.
