Method and system for automatically generating a map of an indoor space

A server computing device for automatically generating a map of an indoor space, the server computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing a set of instructions, the instructions executable in the processor to:
• obtain a raw digital representation of the indoor space;
• preprocess the raw digital representation to obtain a preprocessed representation by:
• marking a region-of-interest (ROI) in the raw digital representation, the marking includes:
• identifying extraneous matter in the raw digital representation, the extraneous matter comprising matter not relevant to a floor plan of the indoor space;
• discarding the extraneous matter to select a portion of the floor plan in the raw digital representation;
• and
• identifying into a space-category of the indoor space based on a layout of the indoor space and identification of entities of the indoor space from the raw digital representation to classify the indoor space into the space category;
• generate, from the preprocessed representation, a skeletal map of the indoor space comprising a plurality of indicators each to identify a structural element of the indoor space;
• overlay the skeletal map having georeferenced plurality of indicators with a fingerprint map for generating a map for the indoor space, the fingerprint map comprising a correlation of sensor and signal information for a sequence of positions that constitute a navigation path traversed by a mobile device relative to the indoor space;
• receive revision inputs to correct an incorrectly identified indicator from amongst the plurality of indicators, wherein the indicator is revised to a modified indicator;
• and
• create a modified skeletal map of the indoor space comprising the modified indicator and unmodified indicators, wherein the modified skeletal map is usable with a localization application for localizing a mobile device in the indoor space.
