Abstract
The proposed application builds on the latest advancements of computer vision with the aim to improve the autonomy of people with visual impairment at both practical and emotional level. More specifically, it is an assistive system that relies on visual information to recognise the objects and faces surrounding the user. The system is supported by a set of sensors for capturing the visual information and for transmitting the auditory messages to the users. In this paper, we present a computer vision application, e-vision, in the context of visiting the supermarket for buying groceries.
