Modern Cane Enabling Obstacle Detection and Navigation Based on Human Gesture using Voice Board

Abstract

There are six sense organs for human being. Out of six sense organs, vision sense is an important sense for human life. But, the people who are visually challenged may find difficulty to lead their daily life. Their difficulty will become a problem when they have an object or an obstacle in front of them. Therefore, a special design of a stick is required for the use visually challenged human to help for their navigation. In this paper, the obstacle detection is proposed to assist the blind people by giving them an ultrasonic aid.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a cane system to give a sense of artificial vision and to detect the objects for the sake of blind people. It is also of low cost and provides efficient navigation assistance. The visually challenged people get information about the surrounding where static and moving objects present. The distance between the blind person and the object is measured by ultrasonic sensors. With that measurement, the blind person can move in the path. The ultrasonic sensor indicates the existence of an object by giving an output of beep sounds which can be heard by the user of the white system.
The increasing advanced technologies must be utilized to get the benefits soon.
The proposed system helps the blind people to avoid collision with others and navigating them according to the obstacles. And also the system consists of sensors to avoid person from falling. This provides the person from falling and provides grip to the person. The indication is provided to the concerned person. The system also provides the stick location indication system and navigation system with gesture based control techniques.
