IR-UWB Radar-based Situational Awareness System for Smartphone-Distracted Pedestrians. (arXiv:2311.00991v1 [cs.CV])
cs.CV updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
With the widespread adoption of smartphones, ensuring pedestrian safety on
roads has become a critical concern due to smartphone distraction. This paper
proposes a novel and real-time assistance system called UWB-assisted Safe Walk
(UASW) for obstacle detection and warns users about real-time situations. The
proposed method leverages Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) radar embedded
in the smartphone, which provides excellent range resolution and high noise
resilience using short pulses. We implemented UASW specifically for Android
smartphones with IR-UWB connectivity. The framework …
