We describe a hybrid building navigation system consisting of stationary information booths
and a mobile communication infrastructure feeding small portable devices. The graphical …

In this paper, we propose an indoor data model named Indoor Navigation Space Model
(INSM). It is designed to support automatic derivation of the connectivity graph of a building …

Over the last decade, harnessing the commercial potential of smart mobile devices in indoor
environments has spurred interest in indoor mapping and navigation. Users experience …

Researches on spatial cognition have shown human often need landmarks for an easy and
successful wayfinding. For indoor navigation systems, landmark information is also …
