N2 - In view of an increasing support for the "human right" of low vision people to use vision for independent traveling, architects have to reckon with this target group's visual needs when planning and designing. We recommend a visual acuity > 3/60 as the premier inclusion criterion to define the target group 'low vision' for whom principles of 'design for all' can be applied. An image processing method is presented to illustrate what is visible for people belonging to the target group. The method incorporates 'image degeneration' and 'edge detection'. The method is demonstrated in an analysis of a hazardous stairway descent situation. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
