BlindAssist

BlindAssist is an iOS application which has the goal to support blind people on the road. Since I have a blind brother, I decided to create this open source project.

How does it work?

The assisting process will be done using deep learning, image segmentation and translating the inference results to sentences which will be spoken out loud by tts (text to speech). The model used for this process is based on the cityscapes dataset.

Currently BlindAssist uses CoreML. You can run the download_model.sh script to get the prebuilt model.

The source of the model can be found here: https://github.com/BlindAssist/blindassist-scripts
