Indoor
navigation poses significant challenges for those with visual impairments. To
address this, an integrated system is proposed, aiming to empower visually
impaired individuals by enhancing their indoor navigation and object
recognition capabilities, ultimately promoting independence and safety. This
innovative system amalgamates cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, deep
learning, and machine learning. It incorporates IoT for real-time object
detection, precise distance estimation, and collision avoidance features,
ensuring users are well-informed about their surroundings. Moreover, the system
employs a Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning system, combining machine learning
algorithms and triangulation techniques to provide accurate indoor localization
data, a critical component for effective navigation. To further enhance user
experience, an audio assistant integrated into a mobile application leverages
machine learning. This assistant delivers real-time guidance, object
descriptions, and contextual information, enabling users to interact naturally
with the system. This comprehensive research paper thoroughly explores the
system's components, the underlying technologies that power it, and the results
of comprehensive evaluations. It holds the promise of significantly improving
the indoor navigation experience and quality of life for individuals with
visual impairments.
