Visual Product Identification for Blind using

Android

This project is developed to make the life of blind people easy. This is a
camera-based system to scan the barcode behind the image and read the
description of the product with the help of Id stored in the barcode. This is very
beneficial in case of finding out the description of packaged goods to the blind
people and thus helping them in deciding to purchase a product or not especially,
which are packaged. This is because it becomes very difficult for the blind people
to distinguish between the packaged goods. In order to use this system, all the user
needs to do is capture the image on the product in the mobile phone which then
resolves the barcode which means it scans the image to find out the Id stored.
Thus, this application really benefits blind and visually impaired people and thus
making their work of identifying products easy. This is very easy to use and
affordable, as it requires a scanner to scan the barcode and a camera phone to take
the picture of the image containing the barcode. This is now easy to implement as
most of the mobile phones today have the required resolution in order to scan the
barcode to identify the Id stored in it and read out the product description. This
project can be implemented in any shopping mall, supermarket, Bookstores,
Medical stores etc.
