Software for a device called A-Eye, it detects objects and informs the user about that.

A-Eye (Artificial Eye)

A-EYE is a project that was build with a motive to address the issues faced by people who are visually impaired/blind.

• A-Eye consists of a pretrained object detection caffe model that was used to detect the objects.
• The object classes were edited and all the classes useful to serve the purpose were only kept.
• The device that was made used Raspberry-Pi and a Pi-Camera along with touch, vibration and infrared sensors and all these things were packed in a casing similar to a VR headset.
• The device gave the output in the form of Vibrations and Audio signals which were heard through headphones.

This repo consists of the model that was used in the project along with weights file. This project was made with a view to address the issues of the blind people and was kept in L.J. Innovation Village, Ahmedabad. We will surely imporve upon the issues/lags in the code and introduce new features in the future.
