Abstract
In this paper, we present the application of an RGB-D camera in developing a travel aid for the blind or visually impaired people. The goal of the proposed travel aid is to provide the user with information about obstacles along the travelled path so he or she may walk safely and quickly in an unfamiliar environment. The performance of the travel aid greatly depends on whether the ground plane can be successfully detected. In this paper, we present a new approach to detecting the ground plane from a depth image. Two different experiments were designed to test the performance of the proposed travel aid.
