Abstract
An efficient implementation of a real time stair detection system is proposed, for an implementation on a smartphone to help world awareness for vision impaired people. The proposed algorithm uses an efficient image processing to detect the presence of stairs and its location within the image. Preliminary results of the developing system are presented.
