Android Based Visual Product Identification For The Blind

Abstract:

The Android-Based Visual Product Identification for the Blind project helps blind people identify products quickly and easily. This project uses a camera to scan product barcodes and display product descriptions. Blind people have trouble distinguishing packaged goods, so this feature is especially useful. Users take a picture of the product with their phone to use the system. The system processes the image, extracts the barcode ID, and reads the product description. This app helps blind and visually impaired people identify products. It requires only a barcode scanner and a camera-equipped phone, making it easy and affordable. This project is feasible because most mobile phones can scan and identify barcodes. Shopping malls, supermarkets, bookstores, and medical stores can use it.

Introduction:

The Android-Based Visual Product Identification for the Blind project helps blind people identify packaged products. Blind people use touch and sound to gather information, making informed purchasing decisions difficult. Reading labels or asking for help is time-consuming and impractical. Thus, a camera-based system that reads barcodes and provides detailed descriptions could transform the visually impaired community.

Objectives:

This project aims to improve blind people’s daily independence. The Android-Based Visual Product Identification for the Blind system uses barcode scanning and image processing to quickly and accurately identify products. Eliminating visual impairment barriers allows blind people to make informed purchases of packaged goods. The project also seeks to develop a cost-effective, user-friendly solution for commercial use.

Project Details:

Android-Based Visual Product Identification for the Blind uses smartphones to create an efficient product identification system. A phone’s camera captures a product’s barcode. Image processing algorithms extract the barcode ID. This ID retrieves the product description from a database. Text-to-speech technology reads the description aloud.

This project requires a mobile phone with a camera and a high-quality barcode scanner. Barcode scanning requires a high-resolution phone camera. Fortunately, most mobile phones meet this requirement. The system can be easily integrated into shopping mall, supermarket, bookstore, and medical store environments to allow blind people to independently access product information.

Conclusion:

Android-Based Visual Product Identification for the Blind is a practical and innovative way to help blind and visually impaired people. Smartphone technology allows users to scan barcodes and hear product descriptions, enabling informed decision-making. This project uses common equipment, making it simple and affordable. Modern smartphones have high-resolution cameras, making this project feasible. This system can help blind people identify products in shopping malls, supermarkets, bookstores, medical stores, and other places.
