Tunisian specialists foster a savvy framework that helps the visually impaired
The group of scientists and architects is working - prior to commercializing this advancement - to foster the calculations used to empower more prominent inclusion, give the visually impaired more precise information about the encompassing articles and make them look as though they see.
A group of Tunisian scientists and specialists have made a shrewd framework to assist the visually impaired with exploring through glasses furnished with cameras that utilization man-made reasoning to handle video pictures and convert them into sound signs, giving the client definite information on the idea of the things around him.
The analysts expect that this advancement in its last structure will give precise and adequate data, empowering the visually impaired gathering to have their existences typically.
Seeing through hearing:
In a select meeting with Al Jazeera Net, Professor Abdel Razzaq Al-Hachani, the mechanical speaker at the Higher School of Technology and Engineering in Tunis, said, "The imaginative framework was executed inside the structure of one of the coordinated applied projects carried out by designing understudies in the last years, to make specialized arrangements that are plausible and have the idea of innovative advancement. ".
The top of the examination group on the Internet of Things and RFID advancements at the school adds, "The greater part of the developments that worry the outwardly disabled are centered around fostering a white stick that empowers them to recognize their restricted environmental factors just, and its reach doesn't surpass one meter. Hence, Our objective was to deal with a specialized arrangement that assists blind individuals with exploring as freely as could really be expected, by giving information about the actual items around them."
The primary thought of the venture, as indicated by the speaker, was to plan a framework that would make this class "see through hearing". This framework comprises of shrewd glasses outfitted with cameras to catch video pictures of the spot encompassing the client, then, at that point, process them to change over them into a sound sign that is sent to him through earphones and assists him with traveling through this space without gambles.
Calculations convert picture to sound:
The principal challenge looked by the group was the way to change over picture content into sound data, an innovation that is presently accessible, without turning to the utilization of weighty and costly handling gadgets. "This interaction requires huge computational assets and handling velocity to be achievable," says Al-Hachani.
The group utilized the cell phone to handle pictures, and prevailed with regards to growing new calculations that can characterize the items that might be in the sea as per their temperament (human, creature, vehicle, tree...), and afterward convert a bunch of information around them into sound signals that the client gets in only two seconds. .
The savvy framework likewise incorporated a ultrasonic arm band put on the wrist of the visually impaired client, to distinguish protests exceptionally near him, and it is outfitted with a gadget to gauge the speed increase of hand development that empowers sending a caution - while falling or jeopardizing - to a crisis community, for instance, with recognizable proof individual's area.
The aftereffects of testing the model of the new framework showed empowering brings about terms of its presentation in recognizing the items encompassing the client, by handling the pictures taken by the glasses and afterward changing over them into sound signs through earphones set in the ear.
