Abstract:

Fino a pochi anni fa, usare i trasporti pubblici poteva essere fonte di confusione e richiedere la comprensione del sistema dei trasporti locali. Più tardi, con la diffusione di dispositivi con localizzazione GPS, reti dati cellulare e Google Maps (inizialmente Google Transit), tutto è cambiato, rendendo possibile la pianificazione di un viaggio mentre si è fuori casa. Nonostante Google Maps disponga di indicazioni stradali più o meno in tutto il mondo e mostri molte informazioni, alcune funzionalità, come l’integrazione degli orari in tempo reale, non sono disponibili in tutte le città, ma so

Visual Aids for the blind people is an important subject. Apparently visually impaired individuals get impeded by certain hurdles in everyday life. This work proposes an indoor navigation system for visually impaired people. In particular, the goal of this study is to develop a robust, independent and portable aid to assist a user to navigate familiar as well as unfamiliar areas. The algorithm uses the data from Microsoft Xbox Kinect 360 which makes a 3D map of the indoor areas and detects the depth and estimates the relative distance and angle to an obstacle/human.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the development of a computer-aided autonomous navigation system for a visually-impaired person. The system is intended to work in both indoor and outdoor locations and is based around the use of camera systems and computer vision. Following a review of the literature to identify previous work in navigation systems for the blind, the location of accurate image features is shown to be a vital importance for a vision based navigation system. There are many operators that identify image features and it is shown that existing methods for identifying which has the best

Particularly the availability of adaptive computer equipment and improvements in legislation prepare the ground for a computer-literate visually impaired person to achieve equality and become an integral part of the workforce.This thesis addresses the issues involved in teaching computer liter

Because reading groups historically have been under-researched (Long, 2003), the literature in this field is limited, presenting this as an interesting area for researchers. A need for further research is also explained by the fact that the traditional model of a reading group has been expanded through recent library policies leading to the development of specific group types such as groups for visually-impaired people (VIPs). To date, there have been no long-term empirical studies of these groups. This thesis, therefore, makes a significant contribution to the literature in this field by prov

Thesis (M. A.

A number of studies have investigated various visual functions of visually impaired subjects and how their visual functions relate to the subjects' ability to travel in their environment. Most studies have shown that visual field and contrast sensitivity are the most important visual factors in determining how well visually impaired subjects travel in their environment. From the outcome of the studies, some aspects of vision are known to play important roles in mobility performance of visually impaired subjects. However, in all these studies, researchers have used visually impaired subjects wi
