Ai Based Visually Impaired Stick
Abstract
Visually impaired individuals face significant challenges in safe navigation, obstacle detection, and independent mobility.Traditional aids such as white canes and guide dogs provide limited assistance and do not offer realtime object awareness.This project presents an AI-Based Visually Impaired Stick that utilizes Raspberry Pi, Pi Camera, and Ultrasonic Sensor to detect objects and measure distances in real time.Using Python and OpenCV, the system performs object recognition and converts detected information into audio output using a text-tospeech engine.The device provides immediate voice alerts through earphones, enhancing user safety and independence.The proposed system is compact, cost-effective, and suitable for real-world navigation assistance.
