Landmarks are accepted as one of the vital elements in both virtual and real environments
during wayfinding tasks. This paper provides an overview of the existing literature on the …

Turn-by-turn instructions of navigation systems do not fully correspond to the way in which
people typically communicate spatial information to each other. Previous research …

Although the importance of landmarks for human navigation and for orientation is well
accepted, most of today's navigation systems hardly incorporate any landmark information or …

Considerable amounts of geographical data are still collected not in form of GIS data but just
as natural language texts. This paper proposes an approach for the automatic geocoding of …

The augmentation of landmarks in auditory navigation instructions has been shown to
improve incidental spatial knowledge acquisition during assisted navigation. Here, two …

The repeated use of navigation assistance systems leads to decreased processing of the
environment. Previous studies demonstrated that auditory references to landmarks in …

Mobile devices have become increasingly popular in supporting persons to find their ways
in our daily lives. Research has been initiated to address issues including the efficiency of …

This PhD thesis is part of the research project PERDIDO, which aims at extracting and
retrieving displacements from textual documents. This work was conducted in collaboration …

The role of global landmarks-those seen from multiple, distant points-and local landmarks-
those viewed from a close distance-in virtual environment wayfinding has been discussed in …

Environmental factors, including landmarks that affect people's wayfinding performance in
unfamiliar environments have been discussed in a great number of studies. However, there …
