Abstract

A computer vision based new method for the measurement of the length of pedestrian crossings with a view to develop a travel aid for the blind people is described. In a crossing, the usual black road surface is painted with constant width periodic white bands. In Japan, this width is 45 cm. The crossing region as well as its length is determined using this concept. Experimental results using real road scenes with pedestrian crossing confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
