Narrate the Contents of a Room with Computer Vision
Blog post from Roboflow
James Gallagher's guide explores the use of computer vision to enhance accessibility by narrating the contents of a room. The tutorial details how to use two pre-existing models: MIT Indoor Scene Recognition for identifying room types and "all_finalize" for detecting common household objects. Hosted on Roboflow Universe, these models are integrated into a Python script that also utilizes the text-to-speech library pyttsx3 to vocalize the findings. The script identifies the room type and objects within, then narrates them using a conversational tone. The guide encourages further enhancements, such as improving object detection capabilities, reading object names in order, or adding spatial logic to assist navigation, providing a foundation for creating tools that aid in environmental navigation.
