Powered lower limb prostheses have potential to improve the quality of life of individuals
with amputations by enabling all daily activities. However, seamless ambulation mode …

Stairs are one of the most common structures present in human-made scenarios, but also
one of the most dangerous for those with vision problems. In this work we propose a …

Localization and modeling of stairways by mobile robots can enable multi-floor exploration
for those platforms capable of stair traversal. Existing approaches focus on either stairway …

This paper presents a system which integrates a geographic information system of a
building with computer vision. It uses only one camera, for example, the one of a mobile …

Staircases are a common feature in urban environments. Nevertheless they often pose a
navigational challenge to both visually impaired people and autonomous mobile systems. In …

There are a few applications in which stairs must be detected, for example for aiding blind
persons during navigation and for autonomous robots which must rely on vision. In this …

An efficient implementation of a real time stair detection system is proposed, for an
implementation on a smartphone to help world awareness for vision impaired people. The …

Staircase detection in an important ability required by indoor robots, allowing for multi-floor
exploration in 3D environments. We present an algorithm for stair-case detection from point …

In this paper we are proposing to detect the localization and recognition of an indoor
stairway. This is a fundamental step in the implementing of autonomous stair climbing …

Detecting stair region and estimating the distance from a camera to stair in a stair image is
the fundamental step in the implementation of autonomous stair climbing navigation, as well …
