Abstract :
In this paper we present an algorithm that help blind and visually impaired people to navigate through urban environments by detecting pedestrian crosswalks. In addition to detecting the presence of a crosswalk, its orientation and position respected to the camera is also determined to help the approach of intersections and traversing them.
