Bilateral Contracts with Industry
Could hardware solutions coming from the automotive industry be useful in the context of low vision?

Thanks to a partnership with Bosch Visiontec (Sophia Antipolis, France), we have investigated how hardware solutions coming from the automotive industry (RENESAS Starter-Kit RCar H3) could be used to design real-time vision-aid-systems based on augmented reality. We focused on the detection and enhancement of faces. We analysed the performance of a selection of enhancement algorithms and optimised them taking into consideration the hardware limitations.

Based on the same ideas, a working prototype has also been developed using a Fove 0 head-mounted display and tested with three patients with central vision loss (see Sec.6.1.1).
