Detection and recognition of the individual standing in front of a visually challenged person completely depends on the response given by the person standing. The independent person identification system will help the disabled people in large extent. The main objective of the proposed work is to control the position of visual prosthetic device and to detect the individual standing in front of the visually challenged person. Here, Arduino processor is used for position control of the prosthetic device. For face detection purpose, this proposed work uses HAAR algorithm which is written in C# language. The inputs for the different faces can be taken from the camera module which is fixed with a motor which will be driven with the help of the processor. The prosthetic device is designed in such a way that it can detect person talking in front of challenged person. In real time the device is capable of detecting individuals by comparing database given and effectively recognizes the identity of the individual. The main aim is to assist the challenged person to overcome the dependency, so that the individual can feel free to navigate in outside world. © IAEME Publication.
