Abstract

This document aspires to pioneer an innovative system designed to support individuals facing blindness or visual impairment by integrating Radio Frequency, Identification (RFID) technology with objects and face recognition via image processing. The key objective of the proposed system is enhancing independence and maintaining security of blind person as they navigate their environment. Household utensils and various items within a residence or building are equipped with passive RFID tags. Each of these RFID tags is associated with a different audio file, individually recorded for every object. These audio files are stored on a centralized server. Furthermore, the system maintains a dataset encompassing unidentified faces, assist blind individuals to recognize unknown person through audio feedback. The data is sent to the server by the RFID reader, which reads the tags. This server conducts the database search for the particular ID and plays the audio file. Additionally, the system captures and stores the facial data of unknown persons in the database. When the person reappears in front of blind person the system employs the facial recognition by crossreferencing the information within the database to facilitate face identification.
