Millions of people worldwide have visual
impairments, and integrating them into society is a
crucial ongoing goal. To support their quality of life,
various guidance systems have been developed, often for
specific purposes. However, these solutions can
significantly enhance the mobility and safety of visually
impaired individuals. To address this, a vision-based
platform using Python and OpenCV library
functionalities has been developed to recognize realworld objects indoors and outdoors. YOLO is a novel
approach to object detection that has been used in the
software. The image is transformed into a scan image for
further interpretation of its contents. Efforts continue to
support visually impaired individuals and enable their
full participation in society. The detected image is
scanned and fed into Tesseract OCR for conversion to
text. Additionally, facial emotion recognition is applied
to determine a person's mood. Finally, a Text-to-Speech
(TTS) engine is utilized to convert the detected text and
objects into audible speech.
