'The thing I didn't like about the application was that when I fell off the stairs and had my ribs bruised, I wanted to go for a walk, but I couldn't.
To our knowledge, authors of [11] are the only ones who proposed tackling the detection of the descending stairs using passive computer vision for mobility aids applications.
This could have functional value in making the most dangerous steps, the first and last ones that most people trip over when ascending stairs [45], appear taller and generate a higher clearance and such an application deserves further study.
Businessmen sprinted down the hallway, jostling down stairs, as they rushed toward the office where a clerk was processing applications.
Since the design was constantly evolving we submitted another application just few weeks later, including solid wall insulation at rear, slightly enlarged dormer (in order to get the stairs in) and a domestic wind turbine.
Over time, the application of building science has led to improvements in the design of housing features, such as ergonomic studies of stair design, with likely positive implications for safety that are difficult to quantify [ 6].
