English Abstract
This thesis presents development of a model which will be used to construct a cognitive map for finding shortest paths for the same type of landmarks in different locations in the indoor environment based on the spatial information and according to the user task such as commercial centers, hotels, malls …etc.
The development of the model a knowledge-based system consists of four parts; these are user interface, spatial database, inference engine and knowledge base.
The developed model, is used to build a cognitive map, based on the Dijkstra algorithm which applied to finds many shortest paths for the same type of landmarks in different locations in the map, using AutoCAD, ArcMap & ArcCatolog software and VBA programming language.
This model is capable to infer relationships, distances and directions that connect different landmarks in the indoor environment related to specific task without direct human interfere.
Accordingly the required cognitive map presents the shortest path within a network of interconnected information within the indoor environment.
The developed model guides people in critical indoor environment without the need of human guidance or interference, using spatial information as the only knowledge source in order to linking the task with spatial information to reach the intended destination.
The result of this work is to identify locations' landmarks of the internal environment within the mall map with network links among these locations by the existed paths.
These paths connect these locations with each other.
Moreover, this study shows how to get an explicit and close to hand way for the user toward the desired way, so that many paths will be appeared for the three nearest landmarks of the same required kind for the task and select the appropriate order for the required task.
This work allows being more able to cope with maps and having the ability to read, benefit from the map.
As a result, it displayed the optimal path, the distances and the information of the locations in the map.
