| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During discussions with visually impaired persons, we learned that they had experienced various difficulties in a normal life. In this study, we developed several systems to support the visually impaired in their daily activities. We conducted the following three studies. (1) Development of recognition support systems of chairs, staircases, socks, and handkerchiefs based on smartphone cameras and deep learning, (2) Development of a monitoring system for a white cane user using a surveillance camera and YOLO, and (3) Development of a walking guidance system using a tactile illusion device. These research results were presented at IEICE workshops and IEEE international conferences.
