Détection d'objet et identification d'image avec le scanner de produit.Hackathon à 2019

The day to day hurdles faced by the blind individuals is not unknown to

anyone. Minimizing these problems to some extent, our idea is to develop a mobile

android application for helping them recognize their surrounding objects.

The mobile android application will have the following features-

• A very basic user interface with only camera facility to avoid incorrect input

from the user.

• Verbal instructions for helping the blind people to yield maximum use.

• The scanned products, images or text documents will be conveyed to the user in

speech format.

• Quick results with shortest acknowledgement time.

• Google Vision API to enable label, colour and text detection.

• Development using Android Studio for user friendly experience.

This mobile application will provide solution for two main hurdles –

1) Text document reading

2) Product recognition

Text document reading

• Many official documents like Aadhar card, pan

card, etc. cannot be identified by the blind

individuals.

• Also, book reading or newspaper reading are

merely impossible tasks for them.

• With text to speech converter, our mobile

application will help them to easily know what

is written.

• All that the user has to do is to place his mobile

phone camera across the text area.

• The text identified from the image will be

made audible to the visually impaired

individuals.

• Verbal instructions will be provided to enable

the correct positioning of mobile phone camera

over the complete text.

• Reading made easy!

Product Recognition :

• A blind person cannot know what’s around him. Our android application

would provide him the facility to just place the product under his mobile

phone’s camera and all the details of the product such as name, colour etc. will

be conveyed to the user.

• Dimensions of the scanned product, like its height and width with also be

announced.

• This app will prove more useful when the blind person is out for shopping.

User will know all the details like product name, price, expiry date, direction

of use, etc. which will reduce the user from being dependent on others.

• The billed amount will also be conveyed to the user.

FUTURE SCOPE :

• In case of piled objects or products kept in a group, total count can be

recognized and conveyed to the user.

• 3D functioning of the identified image can be explained to the user.

• Distance of the detected object from the user can be calculated to denote user

safety.

• Complete details of the scanned product can be informed to the user through

web mining.

• Distinguishing between harmful and harmless objects present in the user’s

vicinity.
