  • Abstract
    This paper describes ongoing research project, "Intelligent glasses", on design and realization of technological non-invasive assistance for autonomous and secure displacements of blind, visually impaired and elderly people. Inclusion of cognitive elements in vision system functionality design and some biologically inspired cues accelerate the system efficiency of realization.
