Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a plan view illustrating the basic form of a grid according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the grid 100 may be formed as a general 2D grid structure. The size of each grid may be designated as a square, and the unit of each grid may be referred to as a shell 110 for convenience.

All shells 110 of the grid 100 may be set to have regular spacing sizes. When the size of the shell is not constant, the shell 110 is used as an area unit or data is searched based on the shell 110. At this time, there are many things to consider due to changes in the algorithm when searching for the shell 110. You can lose. Accordingly, by setting the shells 110 to have a constant size, the algorithm for calculating the area and searching for shell reference data can also be simplified. Specifically, in order to search for shells 110 in a certain area, information on each shell 110 can be compared with the overall size of the grid 100 without searching. However, if necessary, the shells 110 of the grid 100 may be set to have different sizes.

The entire area consisting of a collection of columns and rows forming the grid 100 does not need to remain square. The horizontal or vertical length can be increased as needed. That is, the number of columns or rows may increase depending on the size of the 3D object.

The concept of the grid 100 may be similar to the concept of tiling in the field of GIS (Geographic Information System), but while the method of configuring tiles in the tiling of GIS is divided based on coordinates, according to an embodiment of the present invention The difference between the shell 110 of the grid 100 is that it has a simpler configuration method by having regular intervals in size. However, GIS tiling data is generated considering LOD (Linked Open Data), and the LOD method can be considered for this grid 100 method to cover a wide area.

In relation to standard settings when creating the grid 100, the horizontal and vertical unit length values of the shells forming the shell 110 may be the same. Additionally, the maximum row length and maximum column length of the grid 100 may be set in advance, or the maximum number of row counts and the maximum number of column counts may be set in advance. At this time, the maximum row/column length can be set as the product of the unit length of the shell 110 and the maximum row/column count, and the total size of the grid 100 and the number of shells 110 depending on the maximum row/column length. can be decided.

Figure 2 is an example diagram for explaining a method of defining a connection relationship between shells in a grid according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the connection relationship between shells within the grid 200 can be explained. In the shells constituting the grid 200, the surfaces constituting each shell may be defined as being connected to each other. When constructing the node 210 and link 220 through the center point of the shell, the center point of the shell can be designated as the node 210 point, and when an adjacent shell exists and the node 210 points can be connected to each other, the node (210) A link 220, which is a connection between points, may be created. However, the node 210 point is not limited to the center point of the shell.

Meanwhile, in relation to the connection relationship between shells, each shell can have a unique key (key value), and each key can be assigned the properties of the corresponding shell. Through the properties of the shell, not only the simple connection relationship for spatial connection, but also the area range, diffusion, proximity influence, and path at the background level can be digitally twinned.

The main information stored through the key value of the shell is the shell index, the location on the grid 200 of the shell (row number, column number), coordinates on the area within the grid 200 of the shell, connection information, and nodes 210 and Information regarding link 220 may be included.

The shell index is a value that is set separately according to the order in relation to the positions of the shells in the grid 200. The shell index can be used as a key value of the shell to match the information of the shell that matches the 3D object, enabling search for the corresponding 3D object only with the key value of the shell and storing information about the layer in the corresponding area. It is important in that it can be used to search for representative information when designating an area within the grid 200, and that it can be a reference value for extracting related spatial information using only a shell in the background. A method of expressing the grid 200 using a shell index will be described later.

As described above, connection information may refer to connection information with adjacent shells when it is defined that the surfaces constituting each shell are connected to each other. For example, in the case of 4-way (230) connection information, the shell index (or key value of the shell) of adjacent shells at the top, bottom, left, and right may be stored, and in the case of 8-way (240) connection information, the top and bottom , the shell index (or key value of the shell) of adjacent shells in the left, right, and four diagonal directions can be stored.

In addition, the connection information divides the area that is not the grid 200 from the area that is the grid 200, and the shells corresponding to the four outermost sides of the entire grid 200 are connected to some of the adjacent shells in the four directions (230). It can be defined that, with only connection information, all shells in the grid 200 area other than the outermost four sides have connection information for shells in 4 directions 230 or 8 directions 240.

Information about the node 210 and link 220 may be stored in shell properties to reduce search volume, but property information of the node 210 may be stored separately. The connection information can be applied to the node 210 and link 220 information, and when searching for the node 210 and link 220 in the grid 200, a search that takes weight into account is necessary. The properties of the node 210 It can be judged through value.

Weights can be applied to each shell or node 210 and link 220 and utilized in various ways. For example, open, closed, bidirectional, unidirectional, movable, non-movable of the link 220 for wayfinding, or numerical values for level evaluation by area, area classification standard information that can specify POI grouping compared to area, etc. It can be utilized. The weight may be a preset value as the input weight is input differently, but may also be a value that is set variably.

Figure 3 is an example diagram for explaining a method of setting an occupied area in a grid area according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, a device (hereinafter referred to as 'device') for combining spatial attribute information with 3D information according to an embodiment determines the shell occupied by the 3D object 320 with respect to the grid area 300. An occupied area 330 can be set in the grid area 300.

Since the grid area 300 is a 2D area, the occupied area 300, which is a set of shells occupied by the 3D object 320, is set in the grid area 300, so that the occupied area 330 contains information about the 3D object 320. It can be used to create a spatial attribute map, such as matching information.

In one embodiment, the device may obtain an external boundary of the 3D object 320. For example, the device may extract the polygon constituting the bottom of the 3D object 320 and extract the outermost lines of the polygon as the external boundary of the 3D object 320. A polygon refers to the smallest unit of polygon that constitutes a three-dimensional figure in computer graphics, and may be based on a triangular shape. The floor refers to a set of coordinates with the lowest height value of the building model. In the case of a building model with a duplex, it may refer to a set of coordinates with a height value corresponding to the height of the floor in the floor information of the attribute value. . In one embodiment, the device obtains the external boundary of the 3D object 320 having multiple layers by extracting polygons of an area adjacent to the grid area 300, such as coordinates or floor coordinates with the lowest height value of the 3D object 320. can do. As another example, the device may receive 3D object 320 information including external boundary information and obtain the external boundary of the 3D object 320. However, the method by which the device obtains the external boundary of the 3D object 320 is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the device may set a set of shells including a closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320 as the occupied area 330 among one or more shells in the grid area 300.

There may be various ways to define the shell including the closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320. In one embodiment, when a shell that includes at least part of the closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320 is defined as a shell containing the closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320, the occupied area 330 ) is the same as area 330 shown in FIG. 3. In another embodiment, when the shell containing the closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320 is defined as the shell containing the closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320, the occupied area 340 is the same as area 340 shown in FIG. 3. In another embodiment, a shell containing a closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320 more than a predetermined ratio (for example, 50% of the shell area) inside the shell is called a closed area of the external boundary of the 3D object 320. When defining a shell containing an area, the occupied area (not shown) may have a different form not shown in FIG. 3.

In one embodiment, the device may determine a shell area not occupied by the 3D object 320 among one or more shells in the grid area 300 and set one or more unoccupied areas (not shown) on the grid area 300. there is. By separately setting the unoccupied area (not shown), the area not occupied by the 3D object 320 can be utilized in various fields such as route finding and evacuation route prediction as well as simple area division of the grid area 300. In other words, the unoccupied area (not shown) itself can be a unit meaning area with a predetermined meaning.

In one embodiment, when the occupied area 330 is set as the area 330, the shell area not occupied by the 3D object 320 in the grid area 300 is in the complement of the grid area 300 and the occupied area 330. It becomes an area (not shown) corresponding to the intersection of the shell area, and the corresponding shell area may correspond to an unoccupied area (not shown).

Figure 4 is an example diagram of creating a plurality of semantic areas according to an embodiment.

The semantic area means that the grid area 400 is divided into a set of one or more shells according to the characteristics of the area. At this time, any shell in the grid area 400 may be included in all of two or more semantic areas, and any shell in the grid area 400 may not be included in any semantic area.

In one embodiment, the device may generate a plurality of semantic areas based on any one of the occupied area 420, the unoccupied area, and layer information of the 3D object 410. For example, if the 3D object 410 is a single-story building object, a plurality of shells within the occupied area 420 may be included in one semantic area depending on the characteristic that the 3D object 410 occupies, but the 3D When the object 430 is a multi-story building object, each of the plurality of shells in the occupied area 440 may be included in a plurality of semantic areas according to the grid area occupied by each floor of the 3D object 430. Specifically, when a specific shell (not shown) within the occupied area 440 is occupied by the first and second floors of the 3D object 430, the shell (not shown) is an item related to the first floor of the 3D object 430. It may be included in both the first semantic area and the second semantic area related to the second layer of the 3D object 430.

In one embodiment, when the 3D objects 410 and 430 and the grid area 400 are matched multiple times, the device may generate a plurality of semantic areas so that one shell 411 is included in two or more semantic areas. For example, if the 3D object 410 is a building and a CCTV (not shown) is installed on the exterior wall of the building, the specific shell 411 of the occupied area 420 occupied by the 3D object 410 is the area occupied by the CCTV. Since this may also apply, the device may generate a plurality of semantic areas (eg, the building area 410 and the CCTV area 411) so that the corresponding shell 411 is included in two or more semantic areas.

For another example, the shell of the unoccupied area (not shown) for the 3D object 410, 430 is an unoccupied area according to the characteristic that it is not occupied by any 3D object 410, 430 in the grid area 400. It may have a semantic domain by itself, but may not be included in any semantic domain.

In one embodiment, the device may generate a plurality of semantic regions based on the occupied areas 420 and 440 and the unoccupied areas (not shown) of the 3D objects 410 and 430. For example, when the 3D objects 410 and 430 are building objects and large sculpture objects, respectively, the occupied areas 420 and 440 are impassable areas, so the device treats the occupied areas 420 and 440 as impassable areas. Unoccupied areas (not shown) can be divided into moveable areas. Additionally, the device may create the movable area and the non-movable area as separate semantic areas. Specifically, the device can create a plurality of semantic areas by assigning spatial properties, including whether or not they can be moved, to the occupied areas 420 and 440 and the unoccupied areas according to the characteristics of the 3D objects 410 and 430. there is.

Spatial properties reflect the characteristics of a specific area within the grid, for example, shell index of shells included in the area, unique number of the area, information on the outermost shell of the area, and 3D object information (file name) occupying the grid. , layer information within modeling, etc.), attributes for space classification (area name, area characteristics), weight, connection relationship with adjacent shells, etc. At this time, the characteristics of the area are characteristics for giving spatial meaning, and if the 3D object is a building, it may include floors, walls, etc., and the area outside the building may include roads, sidewalks, etc.

Referring to FIG. 4, each of a plurality of shells in the grid area 400 may have a unique shell index. For example, the shell 401 in the first row and first column of the grid area 400 may have (0_0) as the shell index, and the shell in the first row and second column may have (0_1) as the shell index. .

In one embodiment, the device may assign one of the shell indices of shells included in the plurality of semantic regions as a unique number for each of the plurality of semantic regions. Alternatively, the device may create a plurality of semantic areas whose unique number is one of the shell indexes of the shell to be included in each semantic area.

For example, when the occupied areas 420 and 440 themselves become semantic areas, the shells included in the semantic area 440 are (6_6), (6_7), (6_8), (7_5) in order from the upper left, It has (7_6), (7_7), (7_8), (7_9), (8_5), (8_6), (8_7), and (8_8) as shell indices, and the device uses one of the above unique numbers in the semantic area ( It can be assigned with a unique number of 440).

In one embodiment, the device may assign the lowest shell index among shell indices of shells included in the semantic area 440 as a unique number of the semantic area 440. For example, if the semantic area consists of a single shell, the device can assign the shell index of the shell as a unique number of the semantic area. For other examples, when the semantic area 440 consists of a plurality of shells, the device uses the shell index 6_6 of the shell belonging to the lowest column among the shells belonging to the lowest row of the semantic area 440 as a unique value of the semantic area 440. It can be assigned a number. Alternatively, the device may assign the shell index 7_5 of the shell belonging to the lowest row among the shells belonging to the lowest row of the semantic area 440 as a unique number of the semantic area 440. According to the above embodiment, the unique number of the semantic area 420 may be (1_1), which is the lowest numbered shell index.

By assigning unique numbers to the semantic areas (420, 440) according to the same criteria, the device can use an algorithm to search the semantic areas (420, 440) in the grid area (400) using unique numbers, which has the effect of simplifying the search. There is.

In one embodiment, the device may create a plurality of semantic regions by assigning a spatial attribute including the shell index of an adjacent shell to each of the plurality of shells.

For example, the device has 14 outermost shells (1_1), (1_2), (1_3), (1_4), (1_5), (2_1), (2_5), (3_1), For (3_5), (4_1), (4_2), (4_3), (4_4), and (4_5), spatial properties including the shell indices of two adjacent shells can be assigned. Specifically, the shell indices (2_1) and (1_2) of two adjacent shells of shell (1_1) may be included as spatial attributes. The device can create a semantic area by assigning the above spatial properties to the occupied area 420.

Likewise, for example, the device may be A spatial attribute including the shell index of can be given. Specifically, the shell indices (1_2), (2_1), (2_3), and (3_2) of the four adjacent shells of shell (2_2) may be included as spatial attributes. The device can create a semantic area by assigning the above spatial properties to the occupied area 420.

The above-described embodiment is an embodiment where the spatial attribute has 4-way connection information, and when the spatial attribute has 8-way connection information, the number of adjacent shells may vary.

5 and 6 are exemplary diagrams of diffusion areas according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the plurality of semantic regions may include diffusion regions.

'Diffusion' means to disperse and spread far away, and a diffusion area may mean a predetermined area adjacent to a specific occupied area (or semantic area). In other words, depending on the characteristics of a specific occupied area (or semantic area), it may mean a predetermined area scattered away from the occupied area. Hereinafter, the diffusion area is described as being determined from the occupied area, but the diffusion area may be determined from the semantic area.

In one embodiment, the device may set a predetermined area 510 adjacent to the occupied area 500 as the diffusion area 510 corresponding to the occupied area 500. At this time, the device may determine a predetermined area according to the characteristics of the occupied area 500.

For example, if the occupied area 500 is an occupied area of CCTV, the device can set the CCTV shooting range to the predetermined area, that is, the diffusion area 510. For another example, when the occupied area 500 is an occupied area of a quarantine/disinfector, the device may set the spray range of the quarantine/disinfector to the diffusion area 510. In this way, depending on the characteristics of the occupied area 500, a predetermined area adjacent to the occupied area can be set as the diffusion area 510.

Although the above-mentioned FIG. 5 shows diffusion in a single direction from the occupied area, the method by which the device sets the diffusion area is not limited to this, and the diffusion area can be set in multiple directions.

Referring to FIG. 6, an example diagram is shown in which the device sets the diffusion area 630 within a certain radius of the occupied area 600 of the 3D object.

Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 5 , the device may set the diffusion area 610 based on the characteristics of the occupied area 600. For example, if the occupied area 600 is an occupied area of a sprinkler, the device may set a predetermined area corresponding to the spraying range 620 centered on the axis of the sprinkler head as the diffusion area 610.

In one embodiment, the device may establish safe and dangerous areas based on occupied area 600 and diffusion area 610. In the above-described embodiments, when the occupied area 600 is an occupied area of CCTV, the diffusion area 610 can be set as a public safety area, and the area not included in the diffusion area 610 can be set as a public security risk area, and the occupied area 610 can be set as a security risk area. If the area 600 is an occupied area of a quarantine sterilizer, the diffusion area 610 can be set as a quarantine safe area, the area not included in the diffusion area 610 can be set as a quarantine risk area, and the occupied area 600 can be set as a quarantine safety area. In the case of an occupied area, the diffusion area 610 can be set as a water supply safety area, and the area not included in the diffusion area 610 can be set as a water supply risk area. In this way, based on the characteristics of the occupied area 600 and the diffusion area 610, the safe area and the dangerous area are divided and a plurality of semantic areas are created, so that they can be used in various fields according to the characteristics of the occupied area or the 3D object corresponding to the occupied area. It can be utilized.

Figure 7 is an example diagram of a plurality of semantic regions according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7 , it shows that the device creates a plurality of semantic regions 710, 720, 730, and 740 according to the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

In one embodiment, when the 3D object is a wall, the first semantic area 710 generated based on the occupied area of the wall may include a spatial attribute called an immovable area. At the same time, a separate semantic area (not shown) containing a spatial attribute called a movable area can be created for the set of shells included in the unoccupied area of the wall. In addition, if there is a closed area surrounded by the first semantic area 710, a separate semantic area 740 containing the spatial attribute of indoor may be created for the set of shells included in the closed area, and the first semantic area 710 may be generated. For a set of shells included in an area outside the semantic area 710, a separate semantic area (not shown) containing the spatial attribute of outdoor may be created.

In another embodiment, when the 3D object is a CCTV, the second semantic area 720, which is the union of the occupied area of the CCTV and the diffusion area of the CCTV, may include a spatial attribute called a safe area. Conversely, a separate semantic area 730 including a spatial attribute called a risk area may be created for a set of shells that do not belong to the second semantic area 720.

On the other hand, the device's creation of a plurality of semantic areas (710, 720, 730, 740) may mean that the spatial properties are automatically determined by the characteristics of the 3D object and the semantic areas are created, but the separate semantic areas received by the device may be generated. A semantic area on the grid area may be created based on the input. For example, even if the shell is not included in the union of the occupied area of the CCTV, which is a 3D object, and the diffusion area of the CCTV, a separate semantic area (not shown) containing a spatial attribute called a safe area may be created from the separate input received. You can.

In one embodiment, the device may determine the weight based on characteristics of the 3D object. Weights can be of various types depending on the field that utilizes the spatial attribute information of the grid. For example, it may include, but is not limited to, movement weights used for route finding or evacuation route prediction, and safety weights used for evacuation route prediction and safety route recommendation. Additionally, the weight may be determined on a semantic area basis, but may also be determined to be assigned to each shell included in the semantic area.

In one embodiment, the device may determine the weight so that a shell belonging to a movable area has a higher movement weight than a shell belonging to a non-movable area. Alternatively, the device may determine the weight so that shells belonging to the diffusion area have a higher movement weight than shells not belonging to the diffusion area.

Meanwhile, the device may not assign the same weight to shells included in one semantic area, but may assign different weights to shells included in one semantic area. For example, when the 3D object is a CCTV, among shells included in the safety area 720, a higher safety weight may be assigned to a shell that is closer to the 3D object. Alternatively, when the 3D object is a wall, a higher movement weight may be assigned to a shell that is farther from the 3D object among the shells included in the movable area (not shown).

In one embodiment, the device may assign a weight to a link, which is a connection relationship between adjacent shells, based on spatial properties for a plurality of shells on a grid area. For example, a device may assign movement weights to links based on whether movement between adjacent shells is possible based on spatial properties, and whether the route is the shortest or least time-consuming when the origin or destination is determined. Movement weights can be assigned to links. Alternatively, the device may assign movement weight to the link according to the path algorithm method.

In one embodiment, the device may determine an overall weight based on a plurality of different weights. For example, in the case of route guidance, a comprehensive weight that considers not only the movement weight but also the safety weight can be determined. Specifically, among the shells (or links) included in the movable area, shells (or links) that are also included in the safe area may be given a high overall weight, and among the shells (or links) included in the movable area, the shells (or links) that are also included in the safe area may be assigned a high overall weight. The included shell (or link) may be given a lower overall weight than the shell (or link) included in the safe area. However, the type of weight is not limited to movement weight and safety weight, and similarly determines the overall weight. There can be various ways to do this.

In one embodiment, the device may generate a plurality of semantic regions based on the determined weights. Specifically, the device can create a plurality of semantic areas by assigning spatial properties including weights to each of a plurality of shells in the grid. Alternatively, the device may newly assign spatial properties including weights to each of a plurality of shells included in a plurality of semantic areas.

In one embodiment, the device may generate a spatial attribute map based on a plurality of semantic regions 710, 720, 730, and 740. The spatial attribute map may be one in which the grid area and the 3D object are matched by assigning information about the 3D object as a spatial attribute to each of a plurality of shells in the grid. In other words, the spatial properties given to the grid area may include information about the 3D object or information generated from the 3D object, and the device assigns such spatial properties to each of a plurality of shells in the grid, so that the grid area and the 3D object A spatial attribute map with matching can be created.

Conceptually, 2D grid information can mean a base frame for matching the shape and information of a 3D object. In one shell, information about the 3D object and its height can be matched with data and stored. Additionally, matching can be done solely based on the inclusion relationship with the shell area of the 3D object, and node and link information can be used as additional connection information.

Matching grid areas and 3D objects can also be applied to buildings composed of multiple floors. For example, a spatial attribute map can be created by creating a semantic area for each floor of a building and connecting links between shells that can move between floors (or by creating a separate semantic area and connecting the corresponding semantic areas). You can.

According to the spatial attribute map according to one embodiment, when a change in spatial attribute is necessary, data can be processed in the background in a 2D area, such as by changing only the spatial attribute matching 3D information, thereby improving data processing speed and improving 3D resource comparison. The use of information can be maximized.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are exemplary diagrams for explaining a method of utilizing weights according to an embodiment.

In the method of finding a route connecting two entrances, FIG. 8A is a diagram showing an example of route finding without considering risk weights, and FIG. 8B is a diagram showing an example of route finding considering risk weights.

Specifically, assuming that a risk weight is set in the risk area (corridor), if the device does not consider the risk weight, the extracted path passes through the risk area (corridor) as shown in Figure 8a and the device considers the risk weight. In this case, the extracted path does not pass through the danger area (corridor) as shown in Figure 8b.

In one embodiment, when the device extracts the shortest path using a comprehensive weight that considers both the movement weight and the risk weight, a path different from Figures 8A and 8B may be extracted, and the risk weight set in the risk area (corridor) Even when considering the risk weight according to the value of , a path passing through a risk area (corridor) may be extracted. For example, if the difference in the risk weight due to passing through the risk area in the result of summing the movement weights according to the shortest path is greater than the result of summing the movement weights according to the avoidance path that does not go through the risk area, the device moves to the risk area. You can extract the route finding route you pass through.

In one embodiment, the weights may vary depending on other parameters. Therefore, the path extracted by the device may also change. For example, if the first point is the point where a fire is estimated to have occurred, and the device creates a semantic area by assigning a spatial attribute called a danger area to the first point and the shells included in the diffusion area from the first point, , the weight given to the shells in the fire area may change depending on other parameters (e.g., time), and the path extracted by the device (e.g., evacuation route) may also change depending on other parameters.
