|
Self-Dependency for disabled persons is of prime importance. This paper presents a cost effective prototype system to help blind persons to shop independently. A camera based prototype system is proposed in which label of the product which a blind user wishes to buy will be extracted from the image and will be pronounced as voice. To isolate the object of interest from the captured image sequence or video, the user is asked to shake the product. Background subtraction will be used to detect the object of interest that is nothing but Region of Interest (ROI). Text extraction will be performed on ROI to obtain the label of product. The prototype system will be implemented on Raspberry Pi board. |
