This repository is all about the creation of Blind Vision. Blind Vision will be an assistant for blind people that uses a Raspberry Pi to tell what is in front of the wearer.
- Installing Tensorflow
- Installing Google Text-To-Speech (gTTS)
- Getting started with Tensorflow
- Installing Tensorflow Hub
Tensorflow is a machine learning framework which Google has provided. We will be using this in our project for the image classification. To install Tensorflow for Python 3:
sudo pip3 install tensorflow
This installation will take a long time, so you might take a stroll in the park or have a cup of tea for a few minutes.
Installing gTTS is free of cost and is really easy to install. Just use the single command on the Terminal:
pip install gTTS
pip3 install gTTS
To test the installation of Tensorflow, go into the Terminal and run:
python3
then run:
import tensorflow as tf
NOTE: There will be a long set of warnings, especially if your Python package is higher than 3.5 . This is because Tensorflow is designed to work with Python3.5, but nothing to worry.
Tensorflow Hub is a free-of-charge collection of datasets which can be downloaded from a simple Python program.
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-hub
To test the installation, go to the Terminal, (CTRL,ALT,T) and type in python3. You will then be in the Python environment from the Terminal. Then run:
import tensorflow_hub as hub
You should be back at the Python prompt. To exit, type in exit() or CTRL-D.
Done!
