We study the automatic generation of navigation instructions from 360-degree images
captured on indoor routes. Existing generators suffer from poor visual grounding, causing …

This paper complements landmark research with an approach to formalize the structural
salience of objects along routes. The aim is to automatically integrate salient objects …

Vision-and-Language Navigation wayfinding agents can be enhanced by exploiting
automatically generated navigation instructions. However, existing instruction generators …

The prevalent use of GPS-based navigation systems impairs peoples' ability to orient
themselves. This paper investigates whether wayfinding maps that accentuate different …

Although the importance of landmarks for human navigation and for orientation is well
accepted, most of today's navigation systems hardly incorporate any landmark information or …

Landmarks have been identified as relevant and prominent urban elements, explicitly
involved in human navigation processes. Despite the understanding accumulated around …

Current applications for wayfinding and navigation assistance usually calculate the route to
a destination based on the shortest or fastest path from the origin. However, numerous …

Navigation is a multifaceted human ability involving complex cognitive functions. It allows
the active exploration of unknown environments without becoming lost while enabling us to …

A hierarchical data model is needed in mobile navigation systems to generate route
instructions on multiple levels of detail (LODs), thereby adapting to users' various …

The paper is concerned with the empirical investigation of different types of schematised
maps. In two experiments a standard floor plan was compared to three strongly schematised …
