Globally the number of people with visual impairment is very high and among them majority have low vision. They face difficulties during social interactions. In order to assist visually impaired people a new system is introduced to identify the expression or emotion of the confronting person and hence enable a better communication. In this system the blind person uses camera assistance for image acquisition of the person who is interacting with him and by using an audio device the facial emotion is detected and conveyed. This system identifies the emotion such as happy, sad and surprise, thereby the blind person can have an effective social interaction. This system identifies all the basic emotions and hence is an efficient assistive tool for the blind.
