Abstract
Drone space is defined according to a building model and a buffer space. At least one three-dimensional geometry is identified from the building model. The buffer space is calculated from the three-dimensional geometry. Coordinates for a drone air space are defined based on the buffer space. At least one path segment may be identified based on the coordinates for the drone air space, and the coordinates for drone air space are stored in a map database in association with the at least one path segment.
