用3D激光扫描和智能代理,自动检测轮椅通道的隐藏障碍。
OmniPath: A Multi-Modal Agentic Framework for Auditing Wheelchair Accessibility

- 融合地图拓扑与高精度激光数据,每0.5米分析路面状况。
- 按美国无障碍标准评估坡度与台阶,严重等级准确率达F1 0.60。
- 适合城市规划者、残障人士及无障碍设计团队使用。
对轮椅使用者而言,地图上的蓝色路线常是未兑现的承诺。尽管OpenStreetMap(OSM)能标记路径存在位置,却难以反映实际通行体验。为解决此问题,我们提出OmniPath系统,实现从被动制图到主动环境审计的转变。该框架将OSM网络拓扑与高密度航空激光雷达(USGS 3DEP)亚米级精度结合,构建行人环境的高保真3D模型。代理并非仅规划路线,而是以0.5米为步长虚拟遍历路径,严格依据美国无障碍法案(ADA)标准量化坡度、横坡与垂直断点等物理摩擦点,计算加权严重性评分,将风险分为‘轻度’至‘严重’等级。为确保现实可靠性,我们在国家广场通过分层随机抽样进行了200次实地验证。系统对高危障碍物诊断表现良好,严重类别的F1分数达0.60,关键类别为0.58。通过自动化微观检测,OmniPath识别出传统地图忽略的‘隐形’障碍,将静态数据转化为可预判出行挑战的无障碍信息源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
For a wheelchair user, a standard blue line on a map is often a broken promise. While platforms like OpenStreetMap (OSM) successfully capture where a path is, they frequently fail to convey how it physically feels to travel on it. This information barrier is problematic for wheelchair users. To solve this issue, we present OmniPath, a system that moves from passive mapping to proactive environmental auditing. Our framework fuses the network topology of OSM with the submeter precision of high-density aerial LiDAR (USGS 3DEP) to create a high-fidelity 3D model of the pedestrian environment. Rather than simply routing a user, our agent virtually traverses the network, analyzing the surface in 0.5 meter increments. It rigorously quantifies physical friction points specifically running slope, cross slope, and vertical discontinuities against ADA compliance standards, calculating a weighted severity score to categorize hazards from ``Mild'' to ``Critical.'' To ensure real world reliability, we validated the system against 200 physical ground truth field surveys across the National Mall using stratified random sampling. The framework demonstrated strong diagnostic reliability for high-severity hazards, achieving F1-scores of 0.60 for Severe and 0.58 for critical categories. By automating this micro-scale inspection, OmniPath identifies the ``invisible'' barriers that standard maps miss, effectively transforming a static dataset into accessibility data source that anticipates accessibility challenges before the user ever leaves home.
