  • Systems and methods for generating indoor paths
    Patent number: 11668572
    Abstract: A method for generating paths in a building space, the method including retrieving, by a processing circuit, a heatmap for the building space, generating, by the processing circuit, a plurality of vectors, the vectors defined by a first grid location and a second grid location of a plurality of grid locations, determining, by the processing circuit, a subset of vectors from the plurality of vectors based on a proximity of the plurality of vectors to a selected vector in the plurality of vectors, and combining, by the processing circuit, the subset of vectors to generate a merge location, wherein the merge location is used to adjust at least one of the first grid location or second grid location of at least one vector in the subset of vectors.
    Type: Grant
