Today, indoor maps remain a valuable source of spatial information for various indoor environments. Classifying 3D point clouds from indoor environments is crucial for indoor mapping. In this study, indoor point clouds from the S3DIS dataset were classified using Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and Attentive Interpretable Tabular Learning (TabNet) . The classification performances, based on overall accuracy and F1 scores, can be ranked as RF, MLP, XGBoost, and TabNet. It has been determined that machine learning algorithms can be used to classify indoor point clouds for indoor mapping.  \nKeywords. Indoor mapping, machine learning, point cloud  \n1. Introduction  \nThe automatic generation of high-quality indoor maps for existing buildings poses a significant challenge within navigation automation, virtual reality, and robot object manipulation (Lin et al 2021) . Since the as-built condition of the buildings often deviates from the original plans due to renovations, indoor mapping for existing buildings has garnered extensive research attention.Indoor maps can be considered as the output of indoor measures and serve as the foundation for most indoor-based applications. The complexity of buildings and the increasing use of indoor positioning systems also provides a strong motivation to enhance the cartographic representation of indoor maps (Nossum 2013) .  \nIndoor mapping data acquisition refers to the measurement techniques, sensors, media, and platforms used to obtain raw data from indoor environments. The main components in acquiring indoor mapping data are hardware for data processing and sensor synchronization, typically a mapping sensor such as LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) or an RGB-D (Red, Green, Blue-Depth) camera (Otero et al. 2020) . In this study, a backpack-  \nPublished in “Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Location Based Services (LBS 2023)”, edited by Haosheng Huang,  \nNico Van de Weghe and Georg Gartner, LBS 2023, 20-22 November 2023 Ghent, Belgium.  \nThis contribution underwent single-blind peer review based on the paper.

The components of this device include GPS, LiDAR, camera, processor, battery, interface, and other connection elements.  \nThe classification of 3D point clouds belonging to indoor environments plays a significant role in the generation of indoor models (Lin et al 2021) . Significant progress has been made in the recognition of point clouds belonging to outdoor environments. However, recognizing indoor scenes remains a challenge dueto their confined surroundings, various structural features, and numerous obstacles such as columns and walls (Hangbin et al. 2020) . In recent years, the classification of indoor point clouds using deep learning algorithms has been an active research topic. The classification performances of different deep learning algorithms on the Stanford 3D Indoor Semantics (S3DIS) dataset (Armeni et al. 2016), generated by Stanford University, were provided in the study by Lin et al. (2021) .  \nThe performance of machine learning (ML) methods in the classification of indoor point clouds for high-quality indoor mapping is one of the current research topics.
