Visually impaired individuals are increasing and as per global statistics,
around 39 million are blind, and 246 million are affected by low vision. Even
in India, as per the recent reviews, over 5 million visually challenged people
are present. Authors performed a survey of some critical problems the
visually challenged people faced in India from the centre for visually
challenged (CVC) School established by UVSM Hospitals. Among the major
problems identified through survey, most of these persons prefer carrying out
their tasks independently, and depend on public transport buses for
migration. However, critical sub-problems being faced include; bus door
identification and identifying the bus route number accurately. This article
aims to provide solutions in helping visually challenged individuals to
identify exact bus that drives them to their destination, its door, bus number,
and the path for boarding bus. A video sequence of current scenario would be
sent to mobile, in which the actual processing of image is carried out. After
the video sequence processing, generated output is a voice message that
specifies the bus's location, door, and exact information of the bus number
along the road path directly to the user using a wireless device aiming foa a
low-cost solution.
