• abstract = "Blind and visually impaired (BVI) individuals face serious mobility-related risks daily due to the lack of progression in hazard detection and assistive technologies. Most existing techniques are demanding in computational resources and energy consumption, yet still struggle in real-time performance. The challenge is particularly evident when deploying these techniques on portable devices, on which lightweight coupled with sustainable low battery usage is a must. Hence in this study, we aim to leverage Genetic Programming (GP), which is well known for its feature construction capability, to develop more energy-efficient models with better features. The objective is to find more condensed features by GP, to reduce energy consumed and inference time, but without significant accuracy loss in obstacle detection from a head-mount wearable device for BVIs. Features have been trained on a series of in-door settings that represent a BVI person navigating through corridors and furniture. Models with these constructed features then are validated on actual portable board deployment, as well as on Field Programmable Gate Array simulation (FPGA). Comparative analyses are conducted using a range of performance metrics across models training by different learning methods. The metrics include accuracy, model execution time, prediction time, energy consumption, and hardware resource usage. Our study demonstrates that GP-constructed models can generally reduce energy consumption and inference time with negligible accuracy loss. Furthermore, it can build models with higher accuracy than the benchmark, allowing users to adjust between energy usage and accuracy according to their needs.",
