Voice response system of color and pattern on clothes for visually handicapped person
Abstract:
For visually handicapped people, a mental support is important in their independent daily life and participation in a society. It is expected to develop a system which can recognize colors and patterns on clothes so that they can go out with less concerns. We have worked on a basic study into such a system, and developed a prototype system which can stably recognize colors and patterns and immediately provide these information in voice, when a user faces it to clothes. In the results of evaluation experiments it is shown that the prototype system is superior to the system in the basic study at the accuracy rate for the recognition of color and pattern.
