Development of an Automatic Combination System of Clothing Parts for Blind People: MyEyes
Blind people have been, over time, a reason for motivation in the development of solutions to improve their quality of life. The aim of this work is to propose a solution for one of such problems, namely, the selection and combination of clothing for the blind. Thus, this paper describes the whole p...
