Abstract- Visually challenged people encounter numerous difficulties in their
day-to-day lives. They need assistance in performing simple day-to-day activities, and
life automatically becomes hard to live. Instead of the traditional white cane, this
piece depicts a comparable ordeal. This essay highlights the key problems and
numerous advancements that need to take place in order to improve the standard of
living for blind people worldwide. This proposed solution utilizes Raspberry pi for
integration, ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection, an USB camera for image
capturing and advanced machine learning algorithms for obstacle recognition. This
blind stick detects the obstacle by using an ultrasonic sensor, and a camera attached
to the stick turns on and captures a picture. It detects the captured object using
advanced machine learning algorithms and tells the blind people, through a
microphone connected, what kind of obstacle is in front of them. In addition, the
microphone can get input from the user and search for the specific object the user is
looking for. This blind stick will help the visually impaired live independently and
make their lives much easier. Index Terms- Raspberry pi, Ultrasonic Sensor, USB
