Original Abstract

The proposed location and navigation system for visually impaired people is a portable audio-based system to help blind and visually impaired to orientate themselves and detect the place or street at which they are currently walking in the cities. The position of this person is obtained using Global Positioning System (GPS) forwarded to a PC system, which compares the positional information with its internal data containing locations of all street intersections using cartographic software. Information where the person is currently standing is presented by the synthesised speech.

Key words in English
