A kutatási téma leírása:
The goal of the research project is the development of concepts for the transfer of image detection algorithms from the field of driver assistance to blind and visually impaired pedestrians. Furthermore, concepts for the usage of external information (e.g. GPS coordinates of crosswalks and construction sites) in order to increase the algorithms’ stability and robustness will be developed.
The resulting algorithms will be integrated in a mobile assistive system that is developed at Hochschule Furtwangen University (HFU). The smartphone app consists of the text-to-speech output and the image analysis client. A camera as well as earphones or a hearing aid are connected to the smartphone. Elaborate image processing calculations are exported to the cloud service and relevant external information needed
to support image detection is extracted and provided through the according cloud module. The AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) platform used in the system, has already been developed in a previous project at HFU.
