Less research effort has been allocated towards automated landmark identification in indoor environments despite a growing interest in indoor navigation in the scientific community. In this paper, we propose a computational framework to identify indoor landmarks that is based on a hierarchical multi-criteria decision model and grounded in theories of spatial cognition and human information processing. Our model of landmark salience is represented as a hierarchical integration process of low-level features derived from a three-part, higher-level, salience vector (i.e., cognitive, spatial, and subjective salience). We use a fuzzy hierarchical composite-weighted (objective and subjective) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to derive the rankings for identified objects at decision points (i.e., intersections). The top \\textit{N} objects are then selected and compared to a list of landmarks derived from an eye-tracking based virtual reality (VR) experiment. A substantial overlap of 79\\% was observed between these two lists. The proposed framework is capable of reliably and accurately detecting indoor landmarks, which can be employed in the development of landmark-based robot\/autonomous agent motion and indoor guidance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Indoor Landmark Exptraction For Wayfinding\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KX7PV2pqoqE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1145\/3359566.3360066\">Paper\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDENTIFYING INDOOR NAVIGATION LANDMARKS USING A HIERARCHICAL MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION FRAMEWORK Dubey, Rohit K., Samuel S.
