| 2025 | VQA-Driven Event Maps for Assistive Navigation for People with Low Vision in Urban EnvironmentsabstractWe introduce a novel framework for assistive urban navigation for individuals with low vision. Utilizing a smart glasses platform developed by Biel Glasses, which provide a continuous stream of stereo images and GPS fixes, we generate an Event Map based on key semantic elements extracted by carefully prompted visual question-answering (VQA) models. For individuals with blurry or reduced fields of vision (low vision), traversing city streets poses a variety of challenges; they may struggle to perceive construction work, potholes, crowded sidewalks, and other ambiguous obstacles obstructing their paths. Some tasks, such as distinguishing traffic light signals, are nigh impossible without assistance from a companion or city infrastructure aimed towards accessibility. Although the majority of these problems may be solved with individually tailored traditional computer vision algorithms, developing and running a suite of these algorithms is challenging and resource demanding. Therefore, our proposed solution capitalizes on a single underlying implementation that need only be extended by adding queries. We validate our approach using a custom dataset of over 1,300 annotated images from various locations around Barcelona, reporting performance across different urban navigation tasks. We demonstrate the performance of the end to end system on a run of data collected by the Biel Glasses platform. Joseph Morales, Bruk Gebregziabher, Alex Cabañeros, Jordi Sanchez-Riera |
