Abstract

Accessibility challenges for the visually impaired are getting more serious yearly. To address this issue, this study presents an advanced object detection system that utilizes YOLOv8, enhanced with OpenCV for distance estimation. The methodology involves data preparation with diverse scenarios to test system accuracy, including environments like busy streets and indoor settings. Precision, recall, and F1-score metrics evaluate performance under varying lighting conditions. Results show a decrease in performance during low-light conditions, emphasizing the need for adequate lighting for effective detection. The system also includes a real-time implementation with a panic button feature, allowing immediate activation of object detection and distance estimation processes. The results are translated into Indonesian using a translation service and converted to speech, making the information accessible to users. By integrating YOLOv8 and OpenCV, the research achieves an average object detection accuracy of 91% with a low error rate of about 3.6%. Rigorous testing and evaluation under various conditions ensure reliability and effectiveness. The implications of this research extend to real-time applications like navigation assistance for the visually impaired, highlighting the potential for improved quality of life and independence. Future work will focus on optimizing detection in low-light conditions, incorporating additional sensors like infrared cameras, and enhancing real-time text translation services for accurate information delivery to visually impaired users. Additionally, continuous training with diverse datasets will be conducted further to improve the robustness and accuracy of the detection system.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical need for enhanced accuracy in YOLOv8 models designed for visually impaired navigation systems. Existing models often struggle with consistency in object detection and distance estimation under varying environmental conditions, leading to potential safety risks. To overcome these challenges, this research implements a rigorous approach combining data augmentation and meticulous model optimization techniques. The process begins with the meticulous collection of a diverse dataset, essential for training a robust model. Subsequent preprocessing of images in the HSV color space ensures standardized input features, crucial for consistency in model training. Augmentation techniques are then applied to enrich the dataset, enhancing model generalization and robustness. The YOLOv8 model is trained using this augmented dataset, leading to significant enhancements in key performance metrics. Specifically, mean average precision (mAP) improved by 13.3%, from 0.75 to 0.85, precision increased by 10%, from 0.80 to 0.88, and recall rose by 10.3%, from 0.78 to 0.86. Further optimization efforts, including parameter tuning and the strategic integration of a Kalman Filter, notably improved object tracking and distance estimation capabilities. Final validation in real-world scenarios confirms the efficacy of the optimized model, demonstrating its readiness for practical deployment. This comprehensive approach showcases tangible advances in navigational assistance technology, significantly improving safety and reliability for visually impaired users.

Abstract

Blindness is a very important issue to consider in research aimed at assisting vision. This condition requires further study to provide solutions for the blind. This study evaluates and compares the effectiveness of the you only look once v8 (YOLOv8) model integrated with OpenCV and the coordinate attention weighting (CAW) technique for distance estimation in a blind navigation system. Initially, YOLOv8 integrated with OpenCV produced less than optimal results, prompting further improvement efforts to surpass the performance of CAW. The goal is to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of distance perception without the need for additional sensors. The materials used include a variety of datasets annotated with distance information to train and evaluate the model. The methods employed include integrating YOLOv8 with OpenCV for baseline comparison and applying CAW to improve distance perception through enhanced feature attention. The results show that YOLOv8+OpenCV Improved achieves the lowest mean squared error (MSE) across the entire distance range: 0-1 m (0.44), 1-2 m (0.50), 2-3 m (0.58), 3-4 m (0.64), and 4-5 m (0.71). YOLOv8+CAW also outperforms YOLOv8+OpenCV original, demonstrating a notable enhancement in accuracy. The model achieves a detection accuracy of 95.7%, showcasing the effectiveness of computer vision techniques in supporting blind navigation systems, offering precise distance estimation capabilities and reducing the reliance on external sensors. The implications include improved real-time performance and accessibility for the blind, paving the way for more efficient and reliable navigation assistance technologies.
