Third Eye: Facial Recognition for the Blind

This project proposal outlines a system called "Third Eye for Blind Person" that uses facial recognition and voice commands to help blind people identify individuals in front of them. The 3-person project team aims to develop a wearable device that can detect faces in real-time using computer vision and machine learning algorithms, recognize features of faces in a database, and verbally notify the user of the identified person's name. The proposal provides background on facial recognition research and describes the project's methodology, which involves face detection, recognition using a machine learning model, and object detection steps. It also defines the system's scope as frontal-view face identification and real-time performance on static images with expressionless faces.

1. Abstract
Third eye for the blind is an innovation with the help of the multidiscipline subjects like
computer science, electronics engineering and health science which helps the blind people to
recognize a person in front of him/her by using the help of a camera and notify them with a
voice command. The main objective of our project is to provide a facility to the blind person
to recognize different people easily and walk on their own. According to WHO 39 million
people are estimated as blinds worldwide, with the help of this affordable wearable, huge
industrial benefit can be made.

2. Background and Justification


Researchers are doing a lot of work in this field now, it started from object detection and then
object recognition. A facial recognition system is a technology capable of identifying or
verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. There are
multiple methods in which facial recognition systems work, but in general, they work by
comparing selected facial features from given image with faces within a database. It is also
described as a Biometric Artificial Intelligence based application that can uniquely identify a
person by analyzing patterns based on the person's facial textures and [Link] has seen wider
uses in recent times on mobile platforms and in other forms of technology, such as robotics,
biometrics face detectors, Object identifying cameras/auto focus cameras, different tools used
by military forces, authentication systems.

3. Project Methodology
We have some basic steps/milestones in our project methodology, by which we are going to
achieve our objectives. Our plan is quit short that cover these phases
1: Plan and adopting strategy
2: introduction to face recognition and face detection.
3: A machine learning approach to specify the person in the image.
4: Object detection.
5: Real-time Face detection using a smart Algorithm.

4. Project Scope
The following problem scope for this project was arrived at after reviewing the literature on face
detection and face recognition, and determining possible real-world situations where such
systems would be of use. The following system(s) requirements were identified
1 A system to detect frontal view faces in static images.
2 A system to recognize a given frontal view face.
3 Only expressionless, frontal view faces will be presented to the face detection recognition.
4 All systems must possess near real-time performance.
5 Our system is going to tell the user about the person in front of him/her by a calling his name
saved in the database.
Whereas our system has some limitations like it will resist its response to
1 1 Head pose
2 Illumination conditions
3 Expressions
4 Facial accessories
5 Aging effects
6 Cartoon faces
