Abstract


This article discusses aspects about possibilities of using techniques and recent advances in the area of Computer Vision for the development of resources within the paradigm of Ubiquitous Computing, that provides the improvement in the quality of life of people with visual needs, especially in the accomplishment of daily tasks. In addition, this article proposes a Computational System for mobile that presents the tasks: i) scene classification; ii) object recognition; iii) collision detection.
