Abstract

The invention discloses a wearable blind assisting system and method for converting an image into sound. The system comprises an image acquisition module, an image processing and audio conversion module and an audio output module. The image acquisition module is used for acquiring environmental information in a visual range of a user; the image processing and audio conversion module comprises an image processing unit and an audio conversion unit, the image processing unit is used for preprocessing the environment image, and the audio conversion unit is used for converting the preprocessed image into audio data, wherein the pixel points on different horizontal lines in the image correspond to different sound frequencies, and the pixel points with different brightness or the pixel points with different distances in the image correspond to different volumes; and the audio output module is used for playing the generated audio data. The wearable blind assisting system is simple in structureand convenient for the blind to carry and operate, and solves the problems of low accuracy and poor resolution of the existing blind guiding technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a wearable blindness aid system and method for converting images into sounds. Background technique [0002] According to the World Health Organization, at least 2.2 billion people around the world are facing visual impairment or complete blindness. Because blind people's vision is blocked, they cannot experience the beautiful world with their eyes, so there are many inconveniences in life. Because blind people cannot see things in front of them, it is difficult for blind people to travel alone, and their range of activities is limited. Whether it is indoor life or outdoor travel, they cannot have sufficient discrimination ability for things. [0003] At present, the blind aid tools that the blind can use mainly include guide dogs, non-intelligent guide sticks and intelligent blind aid equipment. Among them, guide dogs require long-term training, are expensive and c...
