Visual sensation and perception refers to the process of sensing, organizing, identifying, and interpreting visual information in environmental awareness and understanding. Computational models inspired by visual perception have the…

This paper represents a cost-effective scene perception system aimed towards visually impaired individual. We use an odroid system integrated with an USB camera and USB laser that can be attached on the chest. The system classifies the…

This study proposes a tactile diagram pattern for visually impaired people to recognize color information. The pattern uses the principle of three primary colors, with different patterns representing red, blue, and yellow. The size of…

The widespread use of deep neural networks has achieved substantial success in many tasks. However, there still exists a huge gap between the operating mechanism of deep learning models and human-understandable decision making, so that…

We propose that accessibility research can lay the foundation for technology that can be used to augment the perception of everyone. To show how this can be achieved, we present three case studies of our research in which we demonstrate our…

We propose LENS, a modular approach for tackling computer vision problems by leveraging the power of large language models (LLMs). Our system uses a language model to reason over outputs from a set of independent and highly descriptive…

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive visual impairment affecting millions of individuals. Since there is no current treatment for the disease, the only means of improving the lives of individuals suffering from the…

Vision based human motion recognition has fascinated many researchers due to its critical challenges and a variety of applications. The applications range from simple gesture recognition to complicated behaviour understanding in…

This paper deals with a scene recognition system in a robotics contex. The general problem is to match images with <I>a priori</I> descriptions. A typical mission would consist in identifying an object in an installation with a vision…

This work presents a bunched of promising technologies to treat blind people: the bionic eyes. The strategy is to combine a retina implant with software capable to interpret the information received. Along this line of thinking, projects…

The eye fixation patterns of human observers are a fundamental indicator of the aspects of an image to which humans attend. Thus, manipulating fixation patterns to guide human attention is an exciting challenge in digital image processing.…

The goal of this project is to build a deep-learning solution that deblurs cornea scans, used for medical examination. The spherical shape of the eye prevents ophtamologist from having completely sharp image. Provided with a stack of…

Visual illusions in humans arise when interpreting out-of-distribution stimuli: if the observer is adapted to certain statistics, perception of outliers deviates from reality. Recent studies have shown that artificial neural networks (ANNs)…

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But how exactly can we characterize such discrepancies in interpretation? For example, are there any specific features of an image that makes person A regard an image as beautiful while…

People with some kind of disability face a high level of difficulty for everyday tasks because, in many cases, accessibility was not considered necessary when the task or process was designed. An example of this scenario is a computer's…

In this paper we address the uncertainty issues involved in the low-level vision task of image segmentation. Researchers in computer vision have worked extensively on this problem, in which the goal is to partition (or segment) an image…

Humans navigate in their environment by learning a mental model of the world through passive observation and active interaction. Their world model allows them to anticipate what might happen next and act accordingly with respect to an…

Intelligent assistive systems can navigate blind people, but most of them could only give non-intuitive cues or inefficient guidance. Based on computer vision and vibrotactile encoding, this paper presents an interactive system that…

To help the blind people walk to the destination efficiently and safely in indoor environment, a novel wearable navigation device is presented in this paper. The locating, way-finding, route following and obstacle avoiding modules are the…

Visually impaired people face significant challenges in their day-to-day commutes in the urban cities of Bangladesh due to the vast number of obstructions on every path. With many injuries taking place through road accidents on a daily…
