EXTRACTING AND INFERRING MAP METADATA FROM ARCHITECTURAL DIAGRAMS
First Claim
1. A method for converting an architectural diagram to structural elements for forming assistance data, the method comprising:
- providing the architectural diagram in electronic format, comprising multiple layers and metadata;
identifying a subset containing structural layers from the multiple layers;
removing door arches from a door layer in the subset; and
concatenating the subset to create a floor plan containing the structural elements.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for converting an architectural diagram to structural elements (e.g., such as walls, hallways and open areas) for forming assistance data are presented. An architectural diagram may contain too many layers to manually review each layer. Some examples disclosed herein sort layers of an architectural diagram based on if the layer probably contains structural elements useful for forming assistance data. The sorted list of layers may be user selectable or automatically incorporated into a floor plan containing only structural elements. Once a floor plan is created from an architectural diagram, assistance data may be created and sent to a mobile device.
