Open source indoor mapping


Hello everybody,

I actually want to create an indoor navigation system but before that I want to know what software can I use that will accept a panoramic image of a building and allow me to navigate in that image. I have found Anyplace very interesting and very promising but I would also like to know if there is any other similar software to use.

Thanks

The term, "indoor mapping," might also refer simply to route-finding on a (non-GIS) map of an indoor place, e.g. using the sort of map that might appear in a brochure. In some places you will find QR-codes ... say, on doorjambs and light-switch plates ... which can be scanned by appropriate applications to determine exactly where in the building you are. Other attempts have been made to use wireless radio transmitters to provide internal location, although these are vexed by the fact that radio waves will pass through floors and ceilings.

Google, of course, has also experimented with indoor information, e.g. obtained from CAD files or internal measurements.

there is also NASA's "Vision Workbench"

a lot of the USA space missions use this in one form or another

and so dose the GIS software in the NeoGeography Toolkit
