Novel Methodology for Kannada Braille to Speech Translation using Image Processing on FPGA

-
Kannada is another language used by Indians. A set if Indians scientist are researching to develop a Novel methodology for Kannada Braille to speech Translation using Image Processing on FPGA. Their main aim of this research is to convert Braille which is printed on a sheet of paper, to its equivalent Kannada script. The steps of the project work include procurement of RGB image of the Braille character, conversion of RGB image, Extraction of braille character using auto thresholding based on histogram, noise removal, counting of dots and then identification of Braille character based on unique grouping. For the image processing task, a Spartan 3e series of FPGA has used and the output is from both text and speech. The novel algorithm for this purpose has implemented using Verilog HDL language.

        Era of technology, the knowledge resources are at the finger tips, it make lives easy  but in the society there are various kind of people including differently able people, visually impaired people .Considering about visually impaired people they have only two sources of knowledge, they are  audio and Braille script. Braille is a tactile writing system, Braille education remains important for developing reading skills among blind and visually impaired people. Visually impaired people can read computer screens and other electronic supports with refreshable braille displays and there are portable braille note takers and computer that prints with a braille embosser for their use. Each Braille character made up of six raised dots that arranged in rectangular blocks called cells. The number and the arrangement of these dots are different one character from another, since there are various braille alphabets vary from language to language. Translating nor...

Guidelines for writing the research paper

-
As we all know we have to start writing our research paper for the project. Since we have to follow IEEE standards when writing, I found out an article(PDF) on the guidelines for writing the research paper. I have attached the link of the article below. I hope you can get a good idea from that. https://www.unlv.edu/sites/default/files/page_files/27/Engineering-PreparingPaperIEEE-Sept15.pdf
