访问图形图像（条形图、图表、折线图等）触觉形式（通过触觉可以访问内容的表示）对于学习数学、科学和工程课程的盲人学生来说是不够的。我们描述了我们的分析，目前的工作实践的触觉图形专家谁创造触觉形式的图形图像。我们提出了自动化的手段，通过它来提高当前的工作practices.We的效率描述了实现这个新的自动化过程中，其中包括图像分类，分割，简化和布局的各个组成部分。我们总结了我们的触觉图形助手，这将使触觉图形专家更有效地创建触觉图形批量和单独的发展。我们描述了我们独特的研究人员，从业者和学生顾问团队，他们都是盲人，他们都需要成功开发这种翻译触觉图形的新方法。
Access to graphical images (bar charts, diagrams, line graphs, etc.) that are in a tactile form (representation through which content can be accessed by touch) is inadequate for students who are blind and take mathematics, science, and engineering courses. We describe our analysis of the current work practices of tactile graphics specialists who create tactile forms of graphical images. We propose automated means by which to improve the efficiency of current work practices.We describe the implementation of various components of this new automated process, which includes image classification, segmentation, simplification, and layout. We summarize our development of the tactile graphics assistant, which will enable tactile graphics specialists to be more efficient in creating tactile graphics both in batches and individually. We describe our unique team of researchers, practitioners, and student consultants who are blind, all of whom are needed to successfully develop this new way of translating tactile graphics.
