Concept for transfer of driver assistance algorithms for blind and visually impaired people

In comparison with the assistance of blind and visually impaired people, more research is being conducted in the area of advanced driver assistance systems. Motivated by this fact, we aim at using the advances in camera based driver assistance for the assistance of blind and visually impaired people by developing a concept for the transfer of object detection algorithms in the traffic domain. In this paper, we derive the approach of a transfer concept, give an overview of first findings for the algorithm transfer gained by the exemplary adaptation of a crosswalk detection algorithm and present a preliminary plan of our future work.
