Assist System for Visually Impaired People to Recognize Pure Colours

Abstract

Visually impaired individuals are growing segment in this era. Developing tools for visually impaired people is not a recently emerged problem. But developing computer aided tools are still developing area for visually impaired people. Assist system for visually impaired people refers to system that is able to assist or guide people with vision loss, ranging from partially sighted to totally blind, by means of sounds of commands. Our developed system involves detecting pure colours for visual impaired people to identify colour of clothes and medicine based on the pure colour packets. This collection of insights is laid out in audio format to assist with identifying pure colour of clothes. This system can use instead of raditional way of identifying above mentioned matters. Traditional ways are, they use white cane for mobility and get assist from second person. To identify pure colour of clothes, they get help from another party. To overcome the white cane mobility challenge, this proposed system “Assist system for visually impaired people” could be a solution for constraints in independent mobility, identifying colours in efficient manner. The system is made to identify colours using TCS230 Colour Sensor and Ardunio Board. Ultimate goal of this system is to uplift the life style of visually impaired people by making them more independent and aware of their surroundings by hearing sound. The system has been tested in real time by both blindfolded and blind people at different indoor and outdoor locations, demonstrating that it operates adequately.
