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...

UNav: An Infrastructure-Independent Vision-Based Navigation System for People with Blindness and Low Vision.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Vision-based localization approaches now underpin newly emerging navigation pipelines for myriad use cases, from robotics to assistive technologies. Compared to sensor-based solutions, vision-based localization does not require pre-installed sensor i...

Prediction of visual impairment in retinitis pigmentosa using deep learning and multimodal fundus images.

The British journal of ophthalmology
BACKGROUND: The efficiency of clinical trials for retinitis pigmentosa (RP) treatment is limited by the screening burden and lack of reliable surrogate markers for functional end points. Automated methods to determine visual acuity (VA) may help addr...

Artificial intelligence-powered smart vision glasses for the visually impaired.

Indian journal of ophthalmology
PURPOSE: In India, 4.80 million people are blind, and 4.69 million have severe visual impairment. Globally, the digital era and the advent of artificial intelligence devices offer solutions for daily challenges faced by the visually impaired, but the...

Using Transfer Learning to Refine Object Detection Models for Blind and Low Vision Users.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Object detection models available on smartphones such as YOLOv8 can potentially help identify and locate objects of interest to people who are blind or low vision (pBLV). However, current models may miss crucial objects for pBLV. Here, we compared 5 ...

Using natural language processing to link patients' narratives to visual capabilities and sentiments.

Optometry and vision science : official publication of the American Academy of Optometry
SIGNIFICANCE: Analyzing narratives in patients' medical records using a framework that combines natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning may help uncover the underlying patterns of patients' visual capabilities and challenges that they ...

Assessing Vision Quality in Retinal Prosthesis Implantees through Deep Learning: Current Progress and Improvements by Optimizing Hardware Design Parameters and Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Retinal prosthesis (RP) is used to partially restore vision in patients with degenerative retinal diseases. Assessing the quality of RP-acquired (i.e., prosthetic) vision is needed to evaluate RP impact and prospects. Spatial distortions caused by el...
