Abstract
We present algorithms to detect and precisely localize curbs and stairways for autonomous navigation. These algorithms combine brightness information (in the form of edgels) with 3-D data from a commercial stereo system. The overall system (including stereo computation) runs at about 4 Hz on a 1 GHz laptop. We show experimental results and discuss advantages and shortcomings of our approach.

RGB-D image-based detection of stairs, pedestrian crosswalks and traffic signs

TL;DR: A new framework to detect and recognize stairs, pedestrian crosswalks, and traffic signals based on RGB-D (Red, Green, Blue, and Depth) images is developed.

First-Person Vision

TL;DR: This paper argues that the first-person vision (FPV), which senses the environment and the subject's activities from a wearable sensor, is more advantageous with images about thesubject's environment as taken from his/her view points, and with readily available information about head motion and gaze through eye tracking.

A Head-Wearable Short-Baseline Stereo System for the Simultaneous Estimation of Structure and Motion

TL;DR: A short-baseline real-time stereo vision system that is capable of the simultaneous and robust estimation of the ego-motion and of the 3D structure and the independent motion of thousands of points of the environment and can be used to augment the perception of the user in complex dynamic environments.
