Abstract

This paper is an IoT based Sustained Belt for Visually impaired people, which uses Raspberry Pi for image identification and image processing techniques to help a blind person to identify and rectify people and things in front of them and help them navigate everyday life and have a better lifestyle like any other common man. The key techniques that will be used are real-time images and object recognition as well as image processing. First would be an image, object recognition is to capture the image and then rectify the image, rectifying the image is done through image processing and then the rectified image is converted as audio output. The scope of this paper is to scale up a level where a blind person has a normal lifestyle, just like any other normal person, right without hustles or anything and as well as they can use this as his adjacent person, where this has inbuilt GPS and it is a mini computer as well it can be also useful for general questions, usually blind people when they can’t see things they have a lot of questions and be curious, it will be easier to know about them. What differentiates our paper from usual blind people’s normal stick is that the stick helps them not to crash anything but we are not focused on that, what we focused on is to have a very normal lifestyle like normal person
