Pedestrian Lane Detection for Assistive Navigation of Vision-Impaired People: Survey and Experimental Evaluation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Pedestrian lane detection is a crucial task in assistive navigation for vision-impaired people. It can provide information on walkable regions, help blind people stay on the pedestrian lane, and assist with obstacle detection.

Comparison between audio and tactile systems for delivering simple navigational information to visually impaired pedestrians [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Many of the current GPS (Global Positioning Systems) navigation aids use an audio method to deliver navigation information to the user. For the visually impaired person this method can be problematic.

Visual odometer for pedestrian navigation

open access: yesIMTC/2002. Proceedings of the 19th IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat. No.00CH37276), 2003
This paper presents a visual odometer system using stereo cameras for pedestrian navigation. A novel method for pedestrian navigation based on the knowledge of gait analysis and robust ego-motion estimation is proposed. Two major problems of implementing the system on a pedestrian are stated.

Use and Perceptions of Pedestrian Navigation Apps: Findings from Bologna and Porto

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021
Pedestrian Navigation Applications (PNAs) provide assistance in terms of self-localization, space recognition, and turn-by-turn navigation. The use, motivations and perceptions associated with these applications have been under investigated due to users ...

Show me the way to Monte Carlo: density-based trajectory navigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We demonstrate the use of uncertain prediction in a system for pedestrian navigation via audio with a combination of Global Positioning System data, a music player, inertial sensing, magnetic bearing data and Monte Carlo sampling for a density following ...

Real-time 3D multi-pedestrian detection and tracking using 3D LiDAR point cloud for mobile robot

open access: yesETRI Journal, 2023
Mobile robots are used in modern life; however, object recognition is still insufficient to realize robot navigation in crowded environments. Mobile robots must rapidly and accurately recognize the movements and shapes of pedestrians to navigate safely ...

User Equilibrium Route Assignment for Microscopic Pedestrian Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
For the simulation of pedestrians a method is introduced to find routing alternatives from any origin position to a given destination area in a given geometry composed of walking areas and obstacles. The method includes a parameter which sets a threshold

Impact of navigation tools on pedestrian navigation: preliminary results [PDF]

open access: yesEAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies, 2019
Since some experiments analyzed impact of navigation tools on pedestrian navigation (Ishikawa, Fujiwara, Imai & Okabe 2008; Wang & Worboys 2016) few have studied how interactive devices between mobile participants possibly transform their cognitive maps. After many years of interactive artistic experiences between participants in distant cities,

Improving performance of pedestrian positioning by using vehicular communication signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pedestrian-to-vehicle communications, where pedestrian devices transmit their position information to nearby vehicles to indicate their presence, help to reduce pedestrian accidents. Satellite-based systems are widely used for pedestrian positioning, but
