Abstract
A vision assistance apparatus may include an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image by capturing the scene of the front which a user watches, a sensor unit configured to acquire sensing information on objects located in front of the user, a control unit configured to analyze the image acquired by the image acquisition unit and generate a notification signal for the front scene through an analysis result of the image and the sensing information acquired by the sensor unit, and an output unit configured to provide the user with the notification signal generated by the control unit in the form of sound.
Claims12
A vision assistance apparatus comprising:
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image by capturing a scene of a front which a user watches;
- a sensor unit configured to acquire sensing information on objects located in front of the user;
- a control unit configured to analyze the image acquired by the image acquisition unit and generate a notification signal for the front scene through an analysis result of the image and the sensing information acquired by the sensor unit;
- and
- an output unit configured to provide the user with the notification signal generated by the control unit in the form of sound,
- wherein the control unit executes a predetermined learning model for extracting features from the acquired image, and analyzes the image by classifying the objects in the front scene on the basis of the features extracted using the learning model.
