Abstract

Wearable technology is the smart devices that can be worn on the body as accessories. Wearable devices such as activity trackers are a good example of the Internet of Things. This technology is basically used for tracking daily activities with the help of some electronic device. Mainly this technology contains smart watches or activity tracker. This kind of technology can be used for many purpose like navigation, health tacker and many other purpose. Wearable technology with image processing will lead to a great futuristic way to solve real life problems and help in solving it way faster than it usually takes and saving the money too. Image processing is a set of computer algorithms which performs processing techniques such as gray scaling or compressing. Image processing can also be helpful in reducing the noise and distortion of an image. In this project, we are going to make a smart wearable glass for visually impaired people which will help them in reading the sign boards and newspaper headline which they feel hard in reading.
