This paper surveys indoor spatial models developed for research fields ranging from mobile
robot mapping, to indoor location-based services (LBS), and most recently to context-aware …

Indoor navigation is growing rapidly with widespread developments in the collection and
processing of sensor information for localisation and in routing algorithms calculating …

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 …

In this paper a new conceptual framework for indoor navigation is proposed. While route
planning requires models which reflect the internal structure of a building, localization …

With the gradual maturating of ubiquitous computing and the rapid advances in mobile
devices and wireless communication, indoor Location Based Services have gained …

Whereas outdoor navigation systems typically rely upon global positioning system (GPS),
indoor systems have to rely upon different techniques for localizing the user, as GPS signals …

Autonomous robots must be able to learn and maintain models of their environments.
Research on mobile robot navigation has produced two major paradigms for mapping …

Over the past few years, several technological advances have been made to enable locating
people in indoor settings, where way finding is something we do on a daily basis. In a similar …

Research on mobile robot navigation has produced two major paradigms for mapping
indoor environments: grid-based and topological. While grid-based methods produce …

This paper begins by reviewing the motivation for an informatics of indoor space. It then
discusses application domains and consider why current geospatial technology, with its …
