• Abstract: Advancements in object detection algorithms have opened new avenues for assistive technologies that cater to the needs of visually impaired individuals. This paper presents a novel approach for indoor assistance to the blind by addressing the challenge of small object detection. We propose a technique YOLO NAS Small architecture, a lightweight and efficient object detection model, optimized using the Super Gradients training framework. This combination enables real-time detection of small objects crucial for assisting the blind in navigating indoor environments, such as furniture, appliances, and household items. Proposed method emphasizes low latency and high accuracy, enabling timely and informative voice-based guidance to enhance the user's spatial awareness and interaction with their surroundings. The paper details the implementation, experimental results, and discusses the system's effectiveness in providing a practical solution for indoor assistance to the visually impaired.

  We propose a novel Surrounding-Aware Network, namely SurANet, for concealed object detection. We enhance the semantics of feature maps using differential fusion of surrounding features to highlight concealed objects. Next, a Surrounding-Aware Contrastive Loss is applied to identify the concealed object via learning surrounding feature maps contrastively.

  We introduce a method that explicitly optimize the constraint that each object in a scene should be associated with a distinct slot.
