Abstract: This paper introduces a low-cost Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) implementation for generating geodata for human-navigable maps. In contrast to prevalent thinking, we maintain that navigation by people who are not mobility-impaired does not need accurate maps down to millimetres or even centimetres. Basically, there is a need only to map the boundaries of spaces and to highlight walkable places and areas of potential decisions. The SLAM system presented here consists of an Arduino-based robot and controlling SLAMTerminal software. A case study conducted at the University of Augsburg, Germany shows that the proposed SLAM implementation is capable of producing a map suitable for helping pedestrians to navigate. Keywords: SLAM, low cost, indoor navigation, places, spaces Published Online: 2018/07/02 07:33:14 Document Date: 2018/06/22 07:45:00 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x00390cd2 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
