5G Edge Vision: Wearable Assistive Technology for People with Blindness and Low Vision

no code implementations23 Nov 2023 Tommy Azzino, Marco Mezzavilla, Sundeep Rangan, Yao Wang, John-Ross Rizzo

In an increasingly visual world, people with blindness and low vision (pBLV) face substantial challenges in navigating their surroundings and interpreting visual information.

VisPercep: A Vision-Language Approach to Enhance Visual Perception for People with Blindness and Low Vision

no code implementations31 Oct 2023 Yu Hao, Fan Yang, Hao Huang, Shuaihang Yuan, Sundeep Rangan, John-Ross Rizzo, Yao Wang, Yi Fang

By combining the prompt and input image, a large vision-language model (i. e., InstructBLIP) generates detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the environment and identifies potential risks in the environment by analyzing the environmental objects and scenes, relevant to the prompt.

Distillation Improves Visual Place Recognition for Low-Quality Queries

no code implementations10 Oct 2023 Anbang Yang, Yao Wang, John-Ross Rizzo, Chen Feng

The shift to online computing for real-time visual localization often requires streaming query images/videos to a server for visual place recognition (VPR), where fast video transmission may result in reduced resolution or increased quantization.

UNav: An Infrastructure-Independent Vision-Based Navigation System for People with Blindness and Low vision

no code implementations22 Sep 2022 Anbang Yang, Mahya Beheshti, Todd E Hudson, Rajesh Vedanthan, Wachara Riewpaiboon, Pattanasak Mongkolwat, Chen Feng, John-Ross Rizzo

Given a query image taken by an end-user on a mobile application, the pipeline leverages a visual place recognition (VPR) algorithm to find similar images in a reference image database of the target space.

Understanding the Impact of Image Quality and Distance of Objects to Object Detection Performance

no code implementations17 Sep 2022 Yu Hao, Haoyang Pei, Yixuan Lyu, Zhongzheng Yuan, John-Ross Rizzo, Yao Wang, Yi Fang

We further assess the impact of the distance of an object to the camera on the detection accuracy and show that higher spatial resolution enables a greater detection range.

Detect and Approach: Close-Range Navigation Support for People with Blindness and Low Vision

no code implementations17 Aug 2022 Yu Hao, Junchi Feng, John-Ross Rizzo, Yao Wang, Yi Fang

These functions enable the system to suggest an initial navigation path, continuously update the path as the user moves, and offer timely recommendation about the correction of the user's path.
