Abstract: Action and identification problems are the challenges that visually impaired people often encounter in their lives. The high price of existing commercial intelligent auxiliary equipment has placed enormous economic pressure on most visually impaired people in developing countries. Visually impaired individuals are a growing segment of our population ,the inability to read has a substantive negative impact on their quality of life. Printed text(books, magazines, menus, labels, etc.) still represents a sizable portion of the information this group needs to have unrestricted access . Hence, developing method by which text can be retrieved and read out loud to the visually impaired is critical.
In order to solve this problem, this work proposes a smart wearable system that performs image recognition.The system adopts the method of storage and local cooperative processing. The storage mainly performs image processing, while the local unit only uploads images and feedback results. Therefore, the processor of the system does not need to use expensive high-performance hardware, and the cost to a great extend. The main aim of this system is to build an automatic face recognition assistant using existing hardware associated, software programs with innovative algorithms.
