—As object recognition technology has
developed recently, various technologies have been
applied to autonomousvehicles, robots, and industrial
facilities. However, the benefits ofthese technologies are
not reaching the visually impaired, who need it the
most. This paper proposed an object detection system
for the blind using deep learning technologies.
Furthermore, a voice guidance technique is used to
inform sight impaired persons as to the location of
objects. The object recognition deep learning model
utilizes the You Only Look Once(YOLO) algorithm
and a voice announcement is synthesized using text-tospeech (TTS) to make it easier for the blind to get
information about objects. Asa result, it implements an
efficient object-detection system that helps the blind
find objects in a specific space without help from
others, and the system is analyzed through experiments
to verify performance.
