A study of the location search by use of relative position of landmarks from spatial cognition

Abstract

In this study, we propose the new location search by use of relative position of landmarks from spatial cognition. Conventional location search methods which are way of using search keywords or handwritten map require high level Map-Reading skill. On the other hand, our proposal method can search location map by an intuitive and simple operation. Our method evaluates the similarity of the shape from the relative position relations of plotted landmarks and real map data. As an experimental result, we confirmed that the map of the location where I expected has been searched by plotting average 5.4 landmarks.
