Abstract Eyesight is an important sense that helps humans to avoid dangers and navigate in our world. Blind people usually have enhanced accuracy and sensibility of their other natural senses in order to sense their surroundings. But sometimes this is not enough because the human senses can be affected by external sources of noise or disease. That is why technology has been used to develop many assistive tools. Artifacts like white canes or braille compasses help blind people moving around in the environment. In this article, the use of a system that detects and recognize nearby objects or obstacles is proposed, giving an audible feedback to the user. It is designed as a wireless system in order to be comfortable to be carried by the user. The system helps visual impaired people to move around in indoor or outdoor scenarios. The goals of this blind guide system is to detect obstacles that white canes or dogs cannot, extending its detection range.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
