The objective of the work is to accurately segment and recognize the shopping mall plan, obtaining location and semantic information for each room via segmentation and recognition. This work can be used in other applications such as indoor robot navigation, building area and location analysis, and three-dimensional reconstruction. First, we identify and match the catalog of a mall floor plan to obtain matching text, and then we use the two-stage region growth method we proposed to segment the preprocessed floor plan. The room number is then obtained by sending each segmented room section to an OCR (optical character recognition) system for identification. Finally, the system retrieves the matching text to match the room number in order to obtain the room name, and outputs the needed room location and semantic information. It is considered a successful detection when a room region can be successfully segmented and identified. The proposed method is evaluated on a dataset including 1340 rooms. Experimental results show that the accuracy of room segmentation is 92.54%, and the accuracy of room recognition is 90.56%. The total detection accuracy is 83.81%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22072510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,27]],"date-time":"2022-03-27T21:31:25Z","timestamp":1648416685000},"page":"2510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A High-Precision Method for Segmentation and Recognition of Shopping Mall Plans"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6203-5979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ming","family":"Su","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2454-2555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9286-1999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dangjun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dongyang","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2243-0012","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junchao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"de las Heras, L.-P., Mas, J., Sanchez, G., and Valveny, E.
