Abstract
The technology disclosed adjusts the geospatial coordinates of places-of-interest located inside a building structure for accuracy and defines a block for each place-of-interest within the perimeter of the building structure. The building structure may host a single place-of-interest or multiple places-of-interest. The technology disclosed outlines a contour of the building structure based on geospatial coordinates of the perimeter points of the building structure, identifies contained places-of-interest within the contour, divides the contour into pieces, calculating splines for each of the pieces, and partitions the pieces into non-overlapping blocks by orthogonally projecting block boundaries onto the splines. Each contained places-of-interest within the building structure is attributed to a block. The non-overlapping blocks and adjusted geospatial coordinates of places-of-interest enable the gathering of accurate location-specific data from visitors inside the building structures through their personal devices.
