Inspiration
We at TechHundred people assistive technology can help them overcome their disability and make it easier for the disabled person to lead a normal life by integrating them more into society.
What it does
Translate ASL (American sign language) to text using a convolutional neural network.
For a blind person walking on the street, the software can help them navigate better by saying there is a human in-front or a potential danger.
How I built it
I used Keras to build the convolutional neural network, TensorFlow, Haar Cascade, Python, JavaScript and Flask
Challenges I ran into
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Made the CNN from scratch without any API and had to do some serious reading on different websites. I was able to implement it alone given the time cranch.
What I learned
I learned a lot about machine learning and how we can use machine learning to make the life of a disabled person better.
What's next for TechHundred
I will try to train the neural network more so that I can improve the accuracy and I will also try to add more features to the software and perhaps a mobile application.
