Automatic Alternative Image Recognition to Voice

Abstract

With the current situation, if the blinds want to get information about the people, the landscape of the objects in front of them, they have to get help from the other people. It’s hard for them to travel alone or communicate effectively. There are some applications that support them to detect things but the effectiveness is not high. So we build an application based on the Image Recognition Technology that helps the blinds detect the acquaintances, the landscape or things in front of them by the photos they took. We have to study new technologies then apply to get the high-accuracy result such as detecting the acquaintances, classifying images into some categories: human features and emotions, landscape, objects…Then we use to speech technology to send the picture information to the blinds via voice. All the captured images are stored in the log file so that the blind’s relatives can use for tracking or training. - We also provide the function that the blind’s relatives can train images. It means they will provide information for the images in acquaintance list so that it’s easier to detect the people the blind meet. This function can be used via phone application or web application.
