OBJECT RECOGNITION FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED

摘要

A three-dimensional sensor device is shown that may include a sensor network comprising one or more sensors configured to detect conditions proximate to the three-dimensional sensor device, a speech recognition module configured to detect and respond to operator speech patterns, an object detection module configured to detect objects proximate to the three-dimensional sensor device using contact-less detection, and a classification module configured to compare images received from the sensor network with known images stored in the image library or features of images that the sensor device has been trained to recognize. The three-dimensional sensor device may have improved qualities of object recognition for the visually impaired.

1. A method of object recognition, comprising:
(a) detecting operator speech instructing a three-dimensional sensor device to find an object; (b) capturing an image; (c) classifying the object in the image; (d) detecting location information of the object relative to the operator; and (e) conveying the location information to the operator until the object is found.
