Abstract :
This paper describes construction of the M-CubITS pedestrian WYSIWYAS navigation system both in outdoor and indoor areas, toward realization of the M-CubITS pedestrian WYSIWYAS navigation environment. In outdoor navigation, we construct the experimental Saitama University campus outdoor navigation system "CamNavi" using ordinary mobile phone terminals as users\´ terminals and the i-application platform provided by Japanese NTT DoCoMo. Here, our studies on the outdoor system are mainly based on image processing for outdoor M-CubITS elements and a user interface for the mobile phone terminals. On the other hand, in indoor navigation, we also introduce the route guidance using the Dijkstra method and study databases. Then, we construct an experimental system at the seven-storied buildings in the faculty of engineering, Saitama University, and check the system operation
