Audio-visual conversion similar products mainly include intelligent blind canes, intelligent guide dogs, and blind guide wearable devices; intelligent blind canes can realize environmental recognition to collect and sense surrounding environmental information and achieve obstacle avoidance functions, but they are easily affected by camera and clothing occlusion, etc., affecting their recognition effect and having a low safety factor; intelligent guide dogs are large in size, high in price cost, complex in control operation, and not conducive to the use of the blind; the recognition accuracy or functional intelligence level of blind guide wearable devices is lacking and cannot meet the navigation and obstacle avoidance needs of the blind for independent travel. Implantable BMI types control external devices, such as artificial eyes or intelligent glasses, by implanting electrodes into the brains of visually impaired people to interpret brain signals. Due to the need to implant electrodes into the brains of visually impaired people, there are surgical risks, difficulties in device maintenance, and possible ethical issues; non-implantable BMI types capture electrical signals of the brain or muscles through external wearable devices, such as head-mounted electrode caps, but such systems usually face problems of large signal noise, low recognition accuracy, and poor real-time performance.

[0039] Embodiment 2
[0040] This embodiment provides a navigation method based on the intelligent blind guide glasses system described in Embodiment 1, as Figure 4 shown. The method includes the following steps:
[0041] S1. The binocular depth camera is turned on and images are collected. At the same time, the user's geographical location information is obtained through GPS module positioning, and the corresponding regional electronic map is called from the electronic map database according to the geographical location information; the electronic map database is established in advance through remote sensing mapping technology and stored in the storage unit of the central processing unit module;
[0042] S2. The user conducts voice interaction with the intelligent blind guide glasses system, receives and analyzes the user's voice commands, and obtains the destination information and the corresponding position of the destination in the electronic map;
[0043] S3. The intelligent blind guide glasses perform self-positioning in the electronic map based on their own position in the real environment, and determine the initial pose information and the current pose information of the wearer in the electronic map; both the initial pose and the current pose information include the corresponding position and direction.
[0044] S4. Use the A* algorithm or other path planning algorithms to plan the globally optimal path, and voice broadcast to guide the user to move forward;
[0045] S5. During the movement, the binocular depth camera collects the surrounding environment images, detects local environment changes, performs YOLOV5 recognition on the collected images, and the recognition results are input into the large language model module for language integration; performing YOLOV5 recognition on the collected images requires using a pre-trained model, and the pre-trained model is trained based on the YOLOV5 algorithm; when an obstacle is found, it is necessary to determine the specific distance position of the obstacle, and the obstacle distance is obtained through the binocular ranging algorithm; YOLOv5 combined with edge detection technology significantly improves the target recognition accuracy and can accurately recognize a variety of objects; when recognizing an obstacle, the bone conduction Bluetooth headset broadcasts the voice feedback generated by the large language model module according to the recognition result, such as "There is a car 10 meters ahead", "There is water accumulation on the floor 1m to the left front" and so on.
[0046] S6. Generate a locally optimal path. The intelligent blind guide glasses system generates a locally optimal path based on the current position, the end point of the local path, and a preset path planning algorithm.
[0047] S7. According to the obstacle recognition result, determine whether obstacle avoidance is required. If so, go to step S8; otherwise, jump to step S9.
[0048] S8. Modify the locally optimal path.
[0049] S9. The intelligent blind guide glasses system continues intelligent navigation and guides the user to move forward, and broadcasts navigation voice instructions. Determine whether the destination has been reached. If so, go to step S10; otherwise, jump to step S5.
[0050] S10. Safely reach the destination location. The binocular depth camera captures the surrounding environment images, searches for a safe location in the surrounding environment images, guides the user to reach the safe location, and then the navigation ends. The bone conduction Bluetooth headset broadcasts a voice, such as "You have reached the destination", etc.
[0051] Among them, the voice interaction between the user and the intelligent blind guide glasses system specifically includes:
[0052] S101. Audio acquisition. The voice acquisition module collects the surrounding sounds and transmits the voice signal to the signal preprocessing unit.
[0053] S102. Audio noise reduction. Using the short-time Fourier transform algorithm, the audio signal is decomposed into time-frequency signals, and different gains are applied to each frequency component for noise reduction. Specifically:
[0054] For noise reduction using the short-time Fourier transform, first divide the audio signal into short-time segments by selecting an appropriate window function and perform Fourier transform to obtain time-frequency signals. Analyze the characteristics of each frequency component in the time-frequency domain. Reduce the gain for the frequency components mainly containing noise, and appropriately adjust or maintain the gain for the frequency components containing useful information. Finally, restore the time-domain audio signal through inverse short-time Fourier transform.
[0055] S103. Audio-to-text conversion. Extract features from the audio signal after noise reduction processing, and use a trained speech recognition model to convert the extracted acoustic features into corresponding text information.
[0056] S104. Text processing and analysis. Input the converted text information into the large language model module, understand, analyze, and reason about the input text, perform coherent processing based on the context information, and give logical and accurate answers.
[0057] S105. Convert text to speech. The generated response text is input into the TTS system and converted into speech through the TTS system. Specifically, the conversion into speech through the TTS system is as follows:
[0058] First, preprocess the text, including word segmentation and prosody information annotation, to determine the pronunciation method of each word and the prosody rhythm of the speech. According to the pre-trained speech synthesis model, convert the text into a speech signal. Based on parametric synthesis, concatenative synthesis, or hybrid synthesis technology, generate a natural and fluent speech waveform by synthesizing different speech units and adjusting their acoustic parameters.
[0059] S106. Output the audio. The bone conduction sound transmission module transmits the generated speech to the user's auditory nerve through the skull.
