Abstract

With the increasing development of indoor positioning technologies such as Wifi and RFID, indoor location based services (LBSs) has been a hot topic in recent years. Differing from GPS-based outdoor LBSs, we lack sufficient indoor maps which are the foundation of indoor LBSs. In this paper, we present a database approach to extract indoor spatial objects, e.g., rooms and doors, from CAD models, and then transform them into an indoor moving-object database. With this mechanism, we are able to efficiently generate indoor maps and support indoor-space queries. In addition, we implement a prototype system to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal. It shows that our approach has a high precision on extracting indoor spatial objects and can support indoor spatial queries effectively.
