According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Vision Assistance System for the Elderly Using Object-Based Audio Descriptions is an intelligent, real-time assistive solution designed to enhance the mobility, safety, and independence of elderly and visually impaired individuals. This system integrates computer vision technology with natural language audio output to identify and describe objects in the user's surroundings. Using a wearable or mobile-based camera, the system captures the environment and applies a trained object detection model to recognize common items such as furniture, stairs, doorways, signs, and vehicles. It then converts this visual information into context-aware voice prompts that guide users safely through their surroundings. The system includes features such as environmental relevance filtering, multilingual support, offline functionality, and optional GPS and obstacle sensors for enhanced navigation. Designed to be affordable, lightweight, and user-friendly, the solution empowers users to better understand and interact with their environment while reducing dependency on caregivers. This innovation contributes to assistive living technologies and holds potential for deployment in homes, healthcare facilities, and public spaces."
