Outdoor/Indoor Vision-Based Localization for Blind Pedestrian Navigation Assistance

Vision-based solutions for driver assistance

The article presents a review on vision-based solutions for driver assistance. These solutions support the driver to keep safe travel conditions. They use diverse sensing modalities for the recognition of the environment around the vehicle. Upon detection a critical safety situation they supply the driver with the warning. Four assistance systems have been addressed: TSR Traffic Sign Recognitio...

Vision based Approaches for Driver Assistance Systems

The number of cars on the roads increases with every passing year. Unfortunately, the number of accidents tends to be proportional with this increase. Nowadays, many vehicles are augmented with conventional driver assistance systems (DAS) such as: sensorial-informative (rear-view alarm, radar, lane departure warning system, etc.), actuation-corrective (anti braking system – ABS, emergency braki...

Vision-Based Assistance for Ophthalmic Micro-Surgery

This paper details the development and preliminary testing of a system for 6-DOF human-machine cooperative motion using visionbased virtual xtures for applications in retinal micro-surgery. The system makes use of a calibrated stereo imaging system to track surfaces in the environment, and simultaneously tracks a tool held by the JHU Steady-Hand Robot. As the robot is guided using force inputs ...

Vision-Based Pedestrian Detection for Driving Assistance

This survey focuses on some of the most important and recent algorithms for pedestrian detection in video sequences taken from a camera mounted on a car. The longterm goal of this line of research is to develop vision-based systems that could be successfully implemented in cars for driver support in urban scenes or for autonomous driving. Some of the surveyed systems have already proved their e...
