Abstract

The visual impaired people requires being as much independent as possible to navigate indoor environments. The mobility of this kind of people is difficult and several times requires a companion. Therefore there are several methods for object detection and recognition based on computer vision techniques. This work proposes the use of these methods in the context of accessibility for people with vision problems.
