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...
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...
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...
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...
