Abstract :
This project describes the use of SIFT algorithm for the purpose of giving support to Blind and visually impaired. It is a greater challenge for the visually impaired and blind people´s to work alone and to satisfy their Needs. The main things that a Blind can need are to identify an Object, Image Recognition, Face recognition. This paper Satisfies the Blind People´s Needs by using the SIFT algorithm. SIFT algorithm is mainly based on the object and image retrieval method. Using image processing Tools in MATLAB to implement the SIFT algorithm to the Images. Improve the quality of life for the visually impaired by restoring their ability to self-navigate. Provide the Authenticated Information. Improve the mobility without an external help using Self navigation and Person Identification.
