A Comparative Study of Real-time Object Detection Systems for Navigation of the Visually Impaired

Abstract

The visually impaired face a plethora of problems. The primary problem they face is navigating from one place to another. The detection of obstacles in the user's proximity is another challenge that needs to be addressed. This paper provides a comparative study of various real-time image recognition and object detection methods that might help develop effective navigation systems for the visually impaired.
