Abstract:
Known geospatial device coordinates are clustered using a clustering algorithm into device clusters with cluster centroids. Each device cluster corresponds to a geographical location. Each cluster centroid is annotated with a regional floor-height value of the respective geographical location. Current device data of a device, including geographic location and elevation, are received. An approximate current floor upon which the first device is located is determined using the elevation of the first device and the annotated regional floor-height value of a closest cluster centroid, the closest cluster centroid determined based, at least in part, on the geographic location of the first device. An individual is directed to the device's geographic location and approximate current floor. The device clusters are re-computed based upon feedback from the individual regarding the device's actual floor.
