SafeAR: AR Alert System Assisting Obstacle Avoidance for Pedestrians

HyeongYeop Kang, Geonsun Lee, JungHyun Han

Abstract: This paper presents an obstacle alert system for the users using AR applications while walking. The system analyzes the input camera image to detect the obstacles. With this obstacle detector, two experiments were made to investigate the obstacle alert interfaces and the orientation guide interfaces. Then, the best interfaces identified from the two experiments were combined into an AR application named SafeAR.
