Abstract

Most multimedia contains location information whether they are implicit or explicitly, and which are very useful for several purposes. In particular, we may use location information in defining query conditions to retrieve relevant multimedia. For this reason, a number of works have been done to organize and retrieve geo-referenced multimedia data. However, they mostly focus on outdoor space where position is identified by (x, y, z) coordinates. In this paper, we focus on multimedia in an alternative space, indoor space, which differs from outdoor space in several aspects. First indoor space is considered as symbolic space, where location is identified by a symbolic code such as room number rather than coordinates. Second, topological information is a crucial element in providing indoor spatial information services. Third, indoor space is in more micro-scale than outdoor space, which influences on determining the visibility of cameras. Based on these different characteristics of indoor space, we survey the requirements of management systems of indoor geo-referenced multimedia. Then we propose a geo-coding scheme for multimedia in indoor space as an extension of IndoorGML, an OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium) candidate standard for indoor spatial information. We also present a prototype system called, IngC (INdoor Geo-Coding) developed to store and manage indoor geo-referenced multimedia.

대부분의 멀티미디어 데이터는 위치정보를 가지고 있다. 따라서 각 멀티미디어 데이터에 적절한 위치정보를 추가하면, 다양한 용도로 활용이 가능하다. 특히 멀티미디어의 위치검색이 다양한 검색조건으로 제공될 수 있다. 지금까지 멀티미디어의 위치는 주로 실외공간의 (x, y, z) 좌표공간을 기반으로 정의된다. 최근 실내공간 정보기술이 발달하면서 실외뿐 아니라, 실내공간에서도 다양한 위치기반 서비스가 가능하며, 멀티미디어의 실내공간 안에서의 위치를 정의할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 실내공간의 위치는 실외공간의 위치참조체계와 다르다. 예를 들어, 실내공간에서 위치를 지정할 때는 좌표를 이용하지 않고, 층과 방의 번호를 이용한다. 방 번호와 같은 기호를 이용하여 위치를 지정하는 공간을 기호공간이라고 한다. 본 논문에서는 기호공간을 기반으로 실내공간에서 만들어진 멀티미디어 자료의 위치를 지정하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 특히 현재 진행 중인 OGC의 실내공간정보 표준인 IndoorGML에서 제시하는 데이터모델을 이용한다. 따라서 본 방법은 실내공간에서 만들어진 멀티미디어의 위치를 효과적으로 표현하며, 동시에 여러 시스템이나 서비스간의 호환성을 높이는데 유용하다.
