摘要: A wearable assistive system is proposed to improve mobility of visually impaired people (subjects). This has been implemented in the shape a bracelet and waist-belt order increase its convenience cosmetic acceptability. camera an ultrasonic sensor are attached customized bracelet, respectively. The modular will act as complementary aid along with white cane. Its vision-enabled module detects path distribution obstacles on path. conveys required information subject via mono earphone by activating relevant spoken messages. electronic assists verify this perceive distance their locations. provides improved understanding surrounding environment less cognitive perceptual efforts compared cane alone. was subjected clinical evaluatio...
