Resumen

Indoor space information is the basis of indoor location services such as indoor navigation, path planning, emergency evacuation, etc. Focusing on indoor navigation needs, this paper proposes a fast construction algorithm for a complex indoor space topology model based on disjoint set for the problem of lacking polygon description and topological relationship expression of indoor space entity objects in building plan drawings. Firstly, the Tarjan algorithm is used for identifying the hanging edges existing in the indoor space. Secondly, each edge is stored as two different edges belonging to two adjacent polygons that share the edge. A ring structure is introduced to judge the geometric position of walls, and then an efficient disjoint set algorithm is used to perform set merging. After that, disjoint set is queried to obtain all indoor space contours and external boundary contours, thereby the complete indoor space topological relationship at multiple levels is established. Finally, the connectivity theory of graph is used for solving the problem of a complex isolated polygon in topology information generation. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has generality to efficiently complete the automatic construction of a topological model for complex scenarios, and effectively acquire and organize indoor space information, thus providing a good spatial cognition mode for indoor navigation.
