In this paper, a method is proposed for detecting and tracking a specific moving object (e.g., a bus) on the road from images of a camera attached to the head of a user, aiming at developing a system to support daily lives of visually impaired people. The proposed method traces feature points on the images, extracts a moving object region, and detects a bus by applying Haar-like feature and random trees to the region. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown experimentally.
