Development of a Real-Time Object Detection Algorithm with Voice Notification for Visually Impaired People

The number of visually impaired and blind individuals is large, however, the existing systems for their navigation do not match the technology of today. It is safe to say that there is need for improvement of the technology for the development of such systems, using modern means, such as Machine Learning and Computer Vision. The aim of this work is the improvement of such space navigation systems, by creating an algorithm for processing images of objects surrounding visually impaired people in a spatial navigation system, providing the expansion of information concerning their environment, improving the state of their navigation and their safety.
