Summary
In this talk, we will review the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology which may be useful for people with vision problems. Morden AI methods, especially computer vision, natural language processing and speech processing have improved human lives immensely. We will first review the major technologies that may be useful in developing vision assisted tools for people who need them. That include the neural network methods such as CNN, RNN and transformer, and how they can be used for building our proposed target systems. Then, we will also discuss the software tools that may help researchers to develop AI routines easier. Recent developments in image captioning and gesture recognition will also be mentioned. A few vision-assisted systems to help people with vision problems will also be proposed and explained.
