Abstract

Indoor mapping is an important and necessary enabler for many applications. However, indoor places and their services are very diverse. Furthermore, many technical approaches for indoor mapping exist. While there is fruitful research on combining some of these techniques, we show the need for flexible, customized bootstrapping for indoor maps. This includes mapping techniques but also intermediate services which enable data collection for improving maps and offering enhanced services. We illustrate examples of customizations of the process in a visual way and argue that the bootstrapping process needs to be adapted to specific buildings and end-user needs. This process-based view to indoor mapping leads to several research questions regarding the composition and intermediate steps in such process.
