Abstract
The majority of solutions, dedicated for visually impaired persons, typically utilize obstacle detection mechanism without object recognition, therefore in this paper an approach for rapid object/threat detection and identification for the SMAS system (Stereo Vision Mobility Aid System) is proposed. The results obtained during the experiments are promising and proving that this method is suitable to be used as an real-time solution even for relatively slow portable devices.
