  • A TensorFlow-based Assistive Technology System for Users with Visual Impairments

    Davide Mulfari · 2018 · Proceedings of the 15th International Web for All Conference (W4A 2018)

    This extended abstract presents a wearable computer vision system that uses deep learning to classify objects in a blind user’s surroundings and provide audio descriptions via text-to-speech. The system addresses a limitation of smartphone-based object recognition apps: people…

  • Accessify: An ML Powered Application to Provide Accessible Images on Web Sites

    Shivam Singh, Anurag Bhandari, Nishith Pathak · 2018 · Proceedings of the 15th International Web for All Conference (W4A 2018)

    This demonstration paper presents Accessify, a browser plugin that uses machine learning to automatically generate alternative text descriptions for all images on a website, injecting them into the page’s DOM so screen readers can access them. The system addresses the persistent…

  • Multi-view Mouth Renderization for Assisting Lip-reading

    Andrea Britto Mattos, Dario Augusto Borges Oliveira · 2018 · Proceedings of the 15th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

    This paper presents an assistive tool that uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to enhance video for people who rely on lip-reading. The core problem is that lip-readers generally prefer a frontal view of a speaker's face, but in real-world video the speaker may be…

  • Modeling Expertise in Assistive Navigation Interfaces for Blind People

    Eshed Ohn-Bar, João Guerreiro, Dragan Ahmetovic, Kris M. Kitani, Chieko Asakawa · 2018 · Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI)

    This short IUI paper asks a question most assistive-navigation research leaves unasked: what happens as a blind user becomes an expert on a route? Existing smartphone guidance apps deliver the same instruction set on a user's tenth trip down a corridor as on their first,…
