Abstract
In response to requests from visually impaired people for better assistance tools in their daily lives and due to the difficulty of using public transportation, it is proposed a bus boarding support system using MY VISION. For the support, a method of identifying a bus route number is proposed in this paper. A bus approaching a bus stop is detected from MY VISION images that utilizes the Lucas—Kanade tracker. A bus route number area is then acquired with the help of the Haar-like filters and the random forest. Finally, the number from the area is extracted and identified through pattern matching. The effectiveness of the proposed method was shown by experiments. The results indicate that it is possible to realize a practical boarding support system for the visually impaired.
