Navigational assistance for the visually impaired

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first memory device comprising a first type of media;
• a second memory device comprising a second type of media;
• and
• a processor coupled to the first memory device and the second memory device, wherein the processor is to:
• determine that an image captured by an imaging device coupled to the processor contains an unknown object;
• determine, based at least in part on a determined confidence level associated with the image, that the unknown object is not resolvable within a threshold period of time;
• perform an operation to reallocate computing resources between the first memory device and the second memory device in response to determining that the unknown object is not resolvable within the threshold period of time;
• write at least a portion of data associated with the unknown object to the reallocated resources of the first memory device or the second memory device, or both;
• and
• perform, using the reallocated computing resources, an operation involving the data corresponding to the unknown object to resolve the unknown obj ect.

A system, comprising:

• a mobile computing device coupled to the imaging device and comprising a processor, a first memory device, a second memory device, and a third memory device;
• and
• an imaging device resident on the mobile computing device, wherein the processor is to:
• receive an image captured by an imaging device coupled to the processor that contains greater than a threshold quantity of unidentifiable pixels;
• classify the captured image as an image that contains an unknown object based on the image containing greater than the threshold quantity of unidentifiable pixels;
• determine that at least a portion of the of unidentifiable pixels are not resolvable within a first threshold period of time, based at least in part, on an object recognition model executed by the processor or a determined confidence level associated with the captured image, or both;
• determine that the unknown object presents an impending danger to a user of the mobile computing device;
• reallocate computing resources amongst the first memory device, the second memory device, or the third memory device, or any combination thereof in response to the determination that at least the portion of the unidentifiable pixels are not resolvable within the first threshold period of time or the determination that the unknown object presents an impending danger to the user of the mobile computing device, or both;
• perform, using the reallocated computing resources, an operation involving at least the portion of the unidentifiable pixels corresponding to the unknown object to resolve the unknown object;
• and
• determine, within a second threshold period of time, whether the operation to resolve the unknown object is successful.
