Abstract
An eyewear device with camera-based compensation that improves the user experience for user's having partial blindness or complete blindness. The camera-based compensation determines features, such as objects, and then converts the determined objects to audio that is indicative of the objects and that is perceptible to the eyewear user. The camera-based compensation may use a region-based convolutional neural network (RCNN) to generate a feature map including text that is indicative of objects in images captured by a camera. The feature map is then processed through a speech to audio algorithm featuring a natural language processor to generate audio indicative of the objects in the processed images.
