This paper proposes a method of analyzing a human walk environment using MY VISION. MY VISION is an ego-camera and a computer system which analyzes a video obtained from the ego-camera to acquire certain visual information useful for human daily activities. The system is expected to be a virtual eye of a visually impaired person or the third eye of a pedestrian absorbed in a mobile phone. The proposed method keeps in a database the background images of key points along a sidewalk and judges if a MY VISION user is walking along the sidewalk or if he/she has come to a crosswalk by referring to the backgrounds. If the former, the method finds a safe road region on the sidewalk, whereas, if the latter, it searches for the crosswalk for finding an appropriate walk direction and a traffic light to know the proper timing to cross it. Experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed method.
