Over the rapid development of urbanization, the intricate road network and the increasingly complex internal structure of buildings make it more difficult for people to recognize the spatial location. Especially in large public places such as shopping malls and airports people get lost frequently. Hence, indoor navigation receives more and more attention.
Indoor navigation can build the spatial relationship between people and objects to help users accurately determine their positions, thereby quickly finding the best path to their destinations, bringing great convenience to people's travel.
In response to the urgent problems that need to solve in indoor travel, SuperMap provides integrated solutions for the production, loading, and analysis of indoor navigation data.
- SuperMap iDesktop supports constructing indoor-outdoor integrated navigation models, which realize the seamless display of indoor and outdoor maps. The settings of stair relationships can connect different floors in series to generate a 2D integrated, cross-floor, cross-building path navigation analysis model. The indoor navigation function provided by SuperMap iDesktop produces essential data for mobile indoor navigation.
- The constructed 2D and 3D navigation scene model results are applied to the mobile application to realize driving guidance in complex buildings such as large shopping malls, conference centers, underground parking lots, airports, stations, hospitals, etc.
Highlighted Features
- Constructing network datasets
Building network datasets is an essential ability for indoor navigation, which directly affects the overall performance of navigation. The traditional network analysis merged all road elements into one network dataset and ensured the connectivity of the entire network. A network dataset is large and complicated to maintain. The analysis of multiple network datasets can divide a network dataset into multiple network datasets as the user's logic. Attributes of each network dataset connect them so that you don't need to store all road elements in one network dataset, which reduces the maintenance cost of local feature information.
- Cross-floor and cross-building navigation
Build stair relationships to connect entrances and exits, thereby navigating users among different floors even different buildings.
- 2D-3D integrated navigation
Based on the indoor navigation model, the application can generate 2D and 3D integrated navigation scenes, which can give full play to the flexibility of the 2D map and the realism of the 3D scene.
- Indoor-outdoor Navigation
Practically, outdoor and indoor navigation is often not coherent, which is inconvenient. SuperMap iDesktop can realize the free transition between indoor and outdoor routes, truly realizing indoor-outdoor integrated navigation.
