In North America, legal blindness is defined as a visual acuity of 20/200
39 million are blind worldwide
33% of blindness is caused by cataract
Takes video and filters out everything but moving objects of reasonable size As the object moves sounds are played to give location, size, and direction of movementWe believe that our idea is innovative since it detects only moving objects
Need to isolate moving object
Use frame subtraction to detect movement
Take into account movement from camera
Remove moving objects that are not of importance
Find centroidUse position of centroid to track object, count number of pixels in objectPlay sound at different intensities according to object location and size
Add more parameters to our project (Tracking more than one object at a time etc.)Hope to turn this into an actual device, not just software simulationHopefully it can one day be used in the real world to help people with visual impairments
