A FRAMEWORK OF COGNITIVE INDOOR NAVIGATION BASED ON CHARACTERISTICS OF INDOOR SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT
Keywords: Indoor Spatial Environment, Indoor Spatial Cognition, Interactive Positioning, Indoor Map Alignment, Active Navigation
Abstract. People are easy to get confused in indoor spatial environment. Thus, indoor navigation systems on mobile devices are expected in a wide variety of application domains. Limited by the accuracy of indoor positioning, indoor navigating systems are not common in our society. However, automatic positioning is not all about location-based services (LBS), other factors, such as good map design and user interfaces, are also important to satisfy users of LBS. Indoor spatial environment and people’s indoor spatial cognition are different than those in outdoor environment, which asks for different design of LBS. This paper introduces our design methods of indoor navigation system based on the characteristics of indoor spatial environment and indoor spatial cognition.
