RESEARCH PROJECT

Interactive sonication of images intended for the blind.

Research project funded by the National Science Centre of Poland under grant No. 2015/17 / B / ST7 / 03884 at the Institute of Electronics and Institute of Automatic Control of the Lodz University of Technology in the years 2016-2018.

AIM OF THE PROJECT   One of the basic barriers encountered by blind person is the lack of access to graphical information such as photos, maps, drawings and figures.

PROJECT TASKS   The final result of the project will be the determination of sonification algorithms that allow unobiquous and fast interpretation of image contents by blind persons.

PROJECT TEAM   The team under the supervision of Professor Pawel Strumiłło consists of employees and students of the Institute of Electronics and Institute of Automatic Control.
