This paper presents a 3-D object recognition method and its implementation on a robotic navigation aid to allow real-time detection of indoor structural objects for the navigation of a blind person. The method segments a point cloud into numerous pla...
The increasing population of the elderly and motion-impaired people brings a huge challenge to our social system. However, the walking stick as their essential tool has rarely been investigated into its potential capabilities beyond basic physical su...
