The development of walking assistants for visually impaired people has become a prominent research area due to the rapid growth of these individuals in recent decades. Although numerous frameworks have been developed to aid visually impaired people, a considerable portion of these is limited in their scopes. In this review, we exhibit a similar review of walking assistants for visually impaired people to demonstrate the advancement of such technologies. This review discusses the recent innovative technologies developed for the visually impaired to aid them in walking with their merits and demerits. With the help of this review, a schema is drawn for upcoming development in the field of sensors, computer vision, and smartphone-based walking assistants. This review aims to present the majority of the issues of such frameworks to serve as a basis for different researchers to develop walking assistants that ensure movability and safety of visually impaired people.
