Automated Color Recognition System for Visually Challenged

In the studies, it is identified that color plays a vital role in human daily life for recognition. The main objective is to develop a prototype which can recognize different colors and display on LCD and android phone. This system is implemented on Arduino microcontroller with android device in which color Recognition can be done.  The project is based on both hardware and software. This project uses Bluetooth Module that connects the hardware with a Mobile device. The software used in the project is Arduino IDE which is used for coding and as an interface between Arduino microcontroller and Mobile App.

This model includes Mobile App with the hardware components such as Arduino microcontroller, Color Sensor, and Bluetooth Module. Arduino microcontroller atmega328 is used to implement this project. The proposed system works in standalone mode without the necessity of PC  once it is programmed. We used the rapid prototype technique approach of a color object for real-time applications using Arduino support package meant for Arduino microcontroller. In this project , we will use different color sheets , detect its color and transmit same information to android phone wirelessly using bluetooth communication. The color information gets updated in android app immediatly. The android app has feature to speak out color information so that visually challenged people can know it.
