Abstract

Nowadays, more and more the user interface of household appliances is based on information screens using display panels. The displays give important information, but people with visual disability cańt read it, so that is an essential barrier for them. In this article, a software system based on machine vision technology is described. The developed solution runs on commercial mobile devices, like pocket PCs, smartphones, . An image of the display panel is captured using the digital camera incorporated in the mobile device. The captured image is processed in order to detect the numeric, alpha-numeric and iconographic information showed in different types of displays. Finally the information is transmited to the user using text to speech technology.
