Research on the Visually Impaired Individuals Shopping with Artificial Intelligence Image Recognition Assistance.

Shopping is an indispensable part of daily life. It is an easy task for people with healthy eyes. However, it remains a big problem for the visually impaired individuals. Today, the visually impaired individuals have to be accompanied by their family or guided by the store escort when shopping. It is difficult for them to shop alone. This research develops an artificial intelligence image recognition auxiliary device utilizing the artificial intelligence technology Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), providing smart image recognition modules to assist the visually impaired individuals while shopping. CNN is the most effective deep learning algorithm in the field of machine vision, its ability to compare details of product exterior features makes product recognition more efficient via accurate model training.
