An advanced fire detection system for assisting visually challenged people using recurrent neural network and sea-horse optimizer algorithm.

Scientific reports
The developing elderly population undergoes a high level of eyesight and mental impairment, which frequently results in a defeat of independence. That kind of person should do vital daily tasks like heating and cooking, with methods and devices inten...

Advanced object detection for smart accessibility: a Yolov10 with marine predator algorithm to aid visually challenged people.

Scientific reports
A significant challenge for many visually impaired people is they cannot be entirely independent and are restricted by their vision. They face problems with such actions and object detection should be an essential feature they can rely on a regular b...

Embedded solution to detect and classify head level objects using stereo vision for visually impaired people with audio feedback.

Scientific reports
This work presents an embedded solution for detecting and classifying head-level objects using stereo vision to assist blind individuals. A custom dataset was created, featuring five classes of head-level objects, selected based on a survey of visual...

Leveraging retinanet based object detection model for assisting visually impaired individuals with metaheuristic optimization algorithm.

Scientific reports
Visually impaired individuals suffer many problems in handling their everyday activities like road crossing, writing, finding an object, reading, and so on. However, many navigation methods are available, and efficient object detection (OD) methods f...

A hybrid object detection approach for visually impaired persons using pigeon-inspired optimization and deep learning models.

Scientific reports
Visually challenged persons include a significant part of the population, and they exist all over the globe. Recently, technology has demonstrated its occurrence in each field, and state-of-the-art devices aid humans in their everyday lives. However,...

VIIDA and InViDe: computational approaches for generating and evaluating inclusive image paragraphs for the visually impaired.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
BACKGROUND: Existing image description methods when used as Assistive Technologies often fall short in meeting the needs of blind or low vision (BLV) individuals. They tend to either compress all visual elements into brief captions, create disjointed...

A Comprehensive Survey on Emerging Assistive Technologies for Visually Impaired Persons: Lighting the Path with Visible Light Communications and Artificial Intelligence Innovations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the context in which severe visual impairment significantly affects human life, this article emphasizes the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Visible Light Communications (VLC) in developing future assistive technologies. Toward this p...

The freedom to run: developing an autonomous robot matching the needs of visually impaired citizens to technology opportunities.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Visual impairment poses significant challenges in daily life, especially when navigating unfamiliar environments, resulting in inequalities and reduced quality of life. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the needs and perspectives...

Obstacle Detection System for Navigation Assistance of Visually Impaired People Based on Deep Learning Techniques.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Visually impaired people seek social integration, yet their mobility is restricted. They need a personal navigation system that can provide privacy and increase their confidence for better life quality. In this paper, based on deep learning and neura...

LidSonic V2.0: A LiDAR and Deep-Learning-Based Green Assistive Edge Device to Enhance Mobility for the Visually Impaired.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Over a billion people around the world are disabled, among whom 253 million are visually impaired or blind, and this number is greatly increasing due to ageing, chronic diseases, and poor environments and health. Despite many proposals, the current d...
