“Adsum ergo sum.” I am here, therefore I am: Indoor localisation for blind people with use of LiDAR scanning and ArcGIS Indoors

Blind and visually impaired people currently have inconveniences locating themselves in the indoor environment. No standardized system exists for them yet. After an inventory of the requirements of blind people, different representations do qualify for providing specific information blind people need. The main research question is: "How can...

The Festival Machine

The Festival Machine is an experiment that tests the feasibility of the urbanization of the contemporary festival. The project provides a sustainable indoor festival experience that encourages the exploration of music, which is a hybrid between an outdoor music festival and indoor music venue. It covers a wide spectrum of music genres that...

Building Rhythms: Reopening the workspace with indoor localisation

Indoor localisation methods are an essential part for the management of COVID-19 restrictions, social distancing, and the flow of people in the indoor environment. Moving towards an open work space in this scenario requires effective real-time localisation services and tools, along with a comprehensive understanding of the 3D indoor space. This...

3D Representations for Visual Insight

As a method that can accurately represent 3D spatial information, point cloud visualisation for indoor environments is still a relatively unexplored field of research. Our client for this project, the Dutch National Police, requested a variety of potential solutions for visualising (unfamiliar) indoor environments that can be viewed by both...

SCIPoC: Semantic Classification of Indoor Point Cloud: A study into the possibilities of classifying indoor point cloud using a Deep Learning approach

With the constantly evolving range of applications for technology the quality and amount of data constantly increases as well. In this growing data environment, there is a constant search to provide more value to all data that is available for as little effort as possible. Our research tries to add such additional value by diving into the...

Automatic generation of floor plans for indoor navigation using point cloud

This paper describes a methodology for an automated floor plan generation using point cloud captured via Mobile Laser Scanner(MLS) for indoor navigation purposes. The method takes as input a 3D point cloud and using geometrical features, a<br/>ground plane histogram is computed representing the points density using projection. Finally using edge...

DaRen: A multi-purpose 3D indoor navigation application

This is the final report of the 2013 Synthesis Project of MSc Geomatics. The research is about the possibilities of creating the DaRen application: "A multi-purpose 3D indoor navigation application".

An overview of Indoor- and Microcellular Propagation Measurements

This report presents an overview of propagation measurements in an indoor and a microcellular environment based on recent publiced and reported results. The main reason for carrying out this study is to decide what parameters should be measured during planned propagation measurements at The Physics and Electronics Laboratory of TNO in the joint...
