A 3D mobile mapping and navigation system: Automatic 3D topological data extraction, network analyses, simulation and interactive human navigation

Abstract

In this paper it is aimed to present a 3D mobile mapping and interactive human navigation system which consists of three components. The first component is used to extract the geometrical and 3D topological vector data automatically from architectural raster floor plan images. The second component is used for network analysis and simulations. It generates and presents the optimum path in a 3D modelled building, and provides 3D visualization and simulation. And the third and the last component is used to carry out the generation of the guiding expression and it also provides that information to the mobile devices such as PDA's, laptops etc via internet. That complete system was generated and tested on a complex building model using GPRS and also WIFI internet connections based on the web technologies. This paper discusses the results gained from the application. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
