Abstract
People losing sight in one eye as the cause of a disease or trauma have a blind spot for the field of view. They have a lot of accidental situation in daily life, because it could be impossible to recognize the potential hazards which are present in the blind spot. In this paper, we propose an extension system of a field of view for people losing sight in one eye. In the proposed system, the full field of view information of user is captured by wearable camera, and the visual information is compressed and displayed for user with head-mounted camera. In the experiments, we apply the proposed method to actual seen images in daily life. The experimental results show the effectiveness of proposed method.

(b) A simulation vision of people losing sight in one eye

The full field of view information of user is captured by wearable camera, and the visual information is compressed and displayed for user with head-mounted camera
Summary
The people losing partial vision has to live with inconvenience, in a lot of situations e.g. climbing stairs, walking the street, reading information including route maps and signs at public places, such as stations and airports To solve these problems, the daily life support systems by wearable computing is studied and developed. We have proposed wearable vision aid system employing eye expression recognition(3) This system recognizes user's act of squinting by using a wearable camera, and displays the scaled view image to the user. Those are the approaches of increasing the visibility of the user by presenting enlarged visual information. The full field of view information of user is captured by wearable camera, and the visual information is compressed and displayed for user with head-mounted camera
