Vision-based systems for terrain detection are ubiquitous in mobile robotics, while such systems recently emerged for locomotion assistance of disabled people. For instance, wearable devices embedding vision sensors can assist people in navigation; or guide lower-limb prosthesis or exoskeleton controller to retrieve gait patterns being adapted to the executed task (overground walking, stairs, slop...
