Literature review

ReferenceMethod/algorithm usedMeritsDemerits
[1]YOLO and OpenCVProvides real-time object detection and visual replacement for the blind.YOLO may struggle with small or distant objects, and OpenCV's accuracy can vary based on lighting conditions and object complexity.
[2]TensorFlow API, CNN, SSD, and MobileNet V2Achieves high accuracy without needing an Internet connection.May require significant computational resources, especially for training the model.
[3]CNNUtilizes data augmentation to achieve a 94% accuracy rate for banknote recognition.Edge-detected images negatively affect accuracy, indicating a need for larger datasets and varied lighting conditions.
[4]CNNImproves runtime and accuracy for heart rate estimation in large groups.Specific details about the adapted algorithm and its implementation are needed for a thorough evaluation.
[5]YOLO and SSDUses Raspberry Pi devices for a compact travel aid, demonstrating real-world implementation.The system may face limitations in detecting objects in complex environments or under varying lighting conditions.
[6]CNN and LSTMUses Braille and sound bite hearing devices for communication, achieving high accuracy.The system's effectiveness may depend on the user's familiarity and comfort with Braille.
[9]FSP algorithmUtilizes a panoramic camera for pedestrian trajectory prediction, improving real-time performance.The algorithm's accuracy and performance in dynamic or crowded environments need further evaluation.
[10]CNNAchieves 98% accuracy in diagnosing glaucoma using retinal images.The effectiveness of the technique in clinical settings and its generalizability to diverse populations need further validation.
[11]Four-layered CNNDetects and classifies objects with high accuracy and low response time.The device's performance may vary based on the complexity of the environment and the types of objects present.
[12]CNN and fuzzy logicProvides auditory feedback for obstacle detection, enhancing interaction with surroundings.The computational complexity of the algorithms may affect real-time performance.
[13]CNNUses smart glasses to identify medicine, showing promise for real-world implementation.The system's accuracy and reliability in identifying specific medications need further validation.
