| + | The VisualAid project is launched to develop a fully integrated visual aid device to allow the visually impaired users go to a location and find an object of interest. | ||
| + | The system utilizes a number of state-of-the-art techniques such as SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and visual object detection. | ||
| + | The device is designed to complement existing tools for navigation, such as seeing eye dogs and white canes. | ||
| - | The VisualAid project is launched to ... | + | The system incorporates the use of a Smartphone, Head Mounted Camera, Computer, and Vibro-tactile and Bone conduction Headphones. |
| + | Specifically, a user is able to choose from a number of tasks ("go somewhere", "find the Cheerios") through the Smartphone User interface. | ||
| + | For our project, we start by focusing on the supermarket setting first. | ||
| + | The head mounted camera then sees the outside world and pass it to the software. The vision algorithms then recognize the user whereabouts, and create a path to a goal location. | ||
| + | Once the user arrives at the specified destination, the system then pinpoints the item(s) of importance to allow the user to grab it. | ||
| - | [[Beobot_2.0/Mechanical_System |mechanical system]] and [[Beobot_2.0/Electrical_System| electrical system]], . | + | |
| + | The system is comprised of a few sub-systems: the [[visualaid/User_Interface |user interface]], [[visualaid/navigation |navigation]], and [[Beobot_2.0/object_recognition|object recognition and localization]] components. | ||
