Development of outing walking support device for visually impaired people adapted to 5G environment

Abstract

We are developing a walking support device for the visually impaired. Real-time detection based on camera images using 5G communication with the client server system. At this stage, it performs object recognition, deviation detection, step detection, and warns the user with voice output. We will investigate the recognition accuracy of the newly added deviation detection and step detection. Compare the 5G environment with 4G and examine the practicality of the development device.
