A 3D MODEL BASED INDOOR NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR HUBEI PROVINCIAL MUSEUM W. Xu, M. Kruminaite, B. Onrust, H. Liu, Q. Xiong, S. Zlatanova
Previous projects
Synthesis project 2013 The overall goal is a 3D multi-purpose indoor navigation application for the Hubei Provincial Museum 3D model of Wuhan The first activity of the JRC Wuhan- TUDelft Supervisors: Edward Verbree Qing Zhu, Sisi Zlatanova
Key issues Localisation System architecture Model & Database Network & Navigation User interface & Visualisation
System Architecture System Components: Sever (DBMS) Web services Application (HTML&Unity)
Model and database One model for all: localization, navigation, 3D visualization (CityGML) and context information (exhibits) PostGIS: Native geometric data type Spatial index Plenty spatial analysis functions, also in pgRouting module
Database Design and Implementation Relationships between tables Functionalities Localization Navigation 3D Visualization Context Service CityGML existingNM
Network Extraction
Indoor research and applications Claramunt and Ray., 2010 Bandi and Thalmann, 1998 Lorenz et al Google Indoor on Mobile
3D Grid: fly over, fly under Junqiao (John) Zhao, TUDelft
Surface for navigation Height of the storey Filter all the bottom faces of doors, walls and floors. Clean the overlapping parts of those bottom faces manual
Network Extraction Semi-automatic approach: Constrained Delaunay Triangulation (Triangle Python library). Center points of the triangles, doors and exhibits Connecting center points of adjacent triangles, doors and exhibits
3D Network Extraction Navigation between floors stacking the layers of 2D The vertical connections has to be created. Height information has to be assigned to all nodes. (not done) (Till et al 2011)
3D Mobile visualization
Mobile visualization technology Local visualization – Graphic API: OpenGL ES and Mobile 3D Graphics API – Game engine Remote visualization – Web visualization : HTML5 and WebGL
Pipeline of 3D visualization in Unity3D Import 3D modelCreate scene Path visualization Export to android Route info (.txt) Model (.dae)
User interface
User Interface Main menu Images show the exhibits. By pressing one of them, the route to them is then displayed in a 3D scene on the screen
Path Visualization The users location (starting point as red sphere). The path as pink line
Future Work Different user types in the application. Extraction of 3D navigation network. 3D model storage in the database. Information about objects (exhibits) in the mobile device.
