Digital signage is used widely these day. It is indeed a comfortable technology. However, visually impaired cannot benefit from this technology.
To help who are visually impaired benefit from digital signage, my team devised smart digital signage. It will detect who are visually impaired, automatically speaks out the description for the current showing signage.
- To distinguish visually impaired, system will detect white cane using tiny-YOLO(real-time object detection). We can use white cane as a distinguishable factor because it is a social convention that visually impaired use a white cane.
- For manager to easily insert signage with description, my team used Tesseract OCR. System will extract text out of signage. Manager can edit this text and insert at digital signage.
