One-Sixth of the world population is suffering from vision impairment, as per WHO's report. In
the past decades, many efforts have been done in developing several devices to provide …

In this paper we propose an effective and wearable mobility aid for people suffering of visual
impairments purely based on 3D computer vision and machine learning techniques. By …

The present study examines feedback mechanisms (FMs) to facilitate communication
between the blind and visually impaired (BVI) and their surroundings or devices. Although …

Independent mobility is one of the main challenges for blind or visually impaired (BVI)
people. In particular, BVI people often need to identify and avoid nearby obstacles, for …

Non-visual feedback (eg, auditory and haptic) has been used as directional cues for the
blind and visually impaired (BVI) users. This paper presents the design and the evaluation of …

The objective of our research was to develop assistive technology for visually impaired
people, with a high appreciation for the human potential to achieve, to learn, and to achieve …

Vision is one of the most advanced and important sensory input in humans. However, many
people have vision problems due to birth defects, uncorrected errors, work nature, accidents …

Obstacle avoidance is a major challenge during independent mobility for blind or visually
impaired (BVI) people. Typically, BVI people can only perceive obstacles at a short distance …

This paper proposes an effective and wearable mobility aid aimed at improving the quality of
life of people suffering for visual disabilities by enabling autonomous and safe navigation in …
