The study was conducted on November 2018 to develop a real time obstacle detection for blind persons to assist in their navigation.
1) design and develop the hardware of the device that is more light weight and portable to use for the user; 2) create a program that can detect obstacles that block the way of visually impaired person and alert them using micro-computer, 3) evaluate the technical performance of the device in terms of its accuracy and response time in detecting object; and 4) assessment of the design using an 1SO instrument for product quality. We used the optical flow algorithm as image processing — an optical flow used to compute the motion of the pixel of an image sequence. It provides a dense (point to point) pixel correspondence.

The camera is used as a means of the observer to monitor if there is an object ahead. The system will automatically start when the code is uploaded on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and when the camera captures an image detected as an object, the system will release a beeping sound and will continue until there are blocking objects.
