Abstract
Visually Impaired people need an assistance all day every day for their mobility and survival. This paper offers a suggestion for creating a smart system that can help persons who are visually impaired in their regular occurrences. Those who are visually impaired confront difficulties in walking and navigating themselves in a new environment. Other difficulties include finding obstacles and recognizing people. This paper suggests a "Smart Assistive Aid System" to counteract this circumstance. This system is a voice-activated system that would guide a person with vision loss through daily tasks. The device combines and incorporates many technologies that are already available. This is achieved by using the YOLO V7 Tiny model for the purpose of the computer vision model. The novelty of this work is that, the visually impaired will get alerts regarding the distance between the obstacles. All the devices are powered by the Nvidia Jetson development kit.
