1. A visually-impaired pedestrian multi-axis obstacle sensing system, comprising: a scanning time of flight (ToF) sensor component that determines a distance from the scanning ToF sensor component to a nearest object for an m by n direction matrix, wherein m is greater than 1 and n is greater than 1; a processor, in communication with the scanning ToF sensor component, that accesses an m by n matrix of distance indications, wherein each distance indication of them by n matrix of distance indications corresponds to a direction of them by n matrix of directions, wherein the processor is configured to: analyze the m by n matrix of distance indications and the m by n direction matrix to identify an obstacle having a vertical height that differs by at least a predefined threshold measurement from a region; and based on identifying the obstacle, output an indication of the obstacle and an indication of the distance for the obstacle determined from the m by n matrix of distance indications to an output component; and an output device in communication with the processor that receives the indication of the obstacle and the indication of the distance to the region and provides an output indicative of at least a direction to the obstacle and the distance to the obstacle.
