Abstract
An obstacles detection algorithm of a novel electronic travel aid for the blind based on stereo vision was proposed. Obstacles detection was realized using a self-adaptive threshold determination algorithm and image morphological processing. Experiments showed that the obstacle detection algorithm is effective and fast. The correct detection rate of obstacles is 96%, which is obtained using the consecutive stereo image sequences captured on the road.
