| Abstract(in English) | Tactile maps are used by blind and partially sighted people when navigating around an environment, they are useful for explaining the layout of a building or outdoor environment. Tactile Map Automated Creation System (TMACS) is developed for producing tactile maps. However, it is difficult for the visually impaired to read. The goal of our research is to propose a method for automatic translating hand-drawn maps to tactile maps. In this paper, we discuss a pattern recognition method for extracting and classifying objects of hand-drawn maps. |
