Abstract

We present some results from an ongoing project about face detection and recognition in an apparatus wearable by a visually impaired person. Specifically, we explore the usable equipment and we experiment on the realization of three prototypes that give the opportunity of dealing with different topics, ranging from the architecture of the network to database creation, from the reliability of the identification results to real-time operation issues.
