摘要：This paper enlightens the visually impaired people to acclimatize for the environment which they find more difficult for their navigation system. The lack of visual observation is a loss of freedom to those people. This means they are dependent on other human being for navigation in both indoor and outdoor areas. In the older days the cane navigation system used to help the visually impaired people to avoid the obstacles and give the direction left, right, forward, backward, but it is not much more help for them to identify, what kind of obstacle and to conquer it. Another problem is this system is helpful only in indoors and it will not work in outdoor environments. Then group of sensor and actuators in the system causes the cane device more weight which is difficult to use in the undulation environments and it leads the device size larger which is more difficult to visually impaired people for their navigation. In addition to that the cost of the device is high. In order to overcome the subsequent complexes of visually impaired people. There is a considerable solution is proposed to help visually impaired people in the visualization of environment in easy way. The main objective of this project is used to help visually impaired people to navigate safely and quickly among the obstacles. The proposed system is smart cane which is used for the smart navigation for visually impaired people in indoor and outdoor environment respectively. The smart cane consist of camera which is used identify the obstacles. The captured image is send to the pc which is used to analysis the obstacles. The controller is used to intimate the type of obstacles and their distance through voice.
