<![CDATA[Sight is a fundamental sense for humans, and individuals with visual impairments often rely on assistance from others or tools that promote independence in performing various tasks. One crucial aspect of aiding visually impaired individuals involves the detection and counting of objects. This paper aims to develop a simulation tool designed to assist visually impaired individuals in detecting and counting human objects. The tool's implementation necessitates a synergy of both hardware and software components, with OpenMV serving as a central hardware device in this study. The research software was developed using the Haar Cascade Classifier algorithm. The research process commences with the acquisition of image data through the OpenMV camera. Subsequently, the image data undergoes several stages of processing, including the utilization of the Haar Cascade classifier method within the OpenMV framework. The resulting output consists of bounding boxes delineating the detection areas and the tally of identified human objects. The results of human object detection and counting using OpenMV exhibit an accuracy rate of 71%. Moreover, when applied to video footage, the OpenMV system yields a correct detection rate of 73% for counting human objects. In summary, this study presents a valuable tool that aids visually impaired individuals in the detection and counting of human objects, achieving commendable accuracy rates through the implementation of OpenMV and the Haar Cascade Classifier algorithm.]]>
