利用自行设计研制的电触觉替代视觉系统,通过简单的图像处理算法以及多通道分时复用技术,实现了在由16×16个电极组成的触摸电极阵列上的电触觉汉字显示。并以此为基础,进行了简单汉字的识别实验。实验结果表明,电触觉替代视觉是一种帮助盲人进行简单汉字阅读的可行方法。同时该实验也为进一步开展复杂图像识别的研究打下了基础。
In this paper,we used the eletrotactile vision substitution system designed by ourselves to display Chinese characters on the 16x16 electrode array through some simple image processing algorithms and multiplexing technology. Based on this,simple Chinese character recognition experiment was conducted. The result of the experiment shows that the electrotactile vision substitution is a feasible solution for the blind to read simple Chinese characters and the result also solidifies the foundation of further study about more complex real-time image electrotactile display.
