Abstract. With the rapid global urbanization, several multi-dimensional complex infrastructures have emerged, introducing new challenges in the management of the vertically stratified buildings spaces. 3D indoor cadastral spaces consist a zestful research topic as their complexity and geometry alterations during time, prevents the assignment of the corresponding Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities (RRR). In the absence of the necessary horizontal spatial data infrastructure/floor plans their determination is weak. In this paper a fit-for-purpose technical framework and a crowdsourced methodology for the implementation of 3D cadastral surveys focused on indoor cadastral spaces, is proposed and presented. As indoor data capturing tool, an open-sourced cadastral mobile application for Android devices, is selected and presented. An Indoor Positioning System based on Bluetooth technology is established while an innovative machine learning architecture is developed, in order to explore its potentials to automatically provide the position of the mobile device within an indoor environment, aiming to add more intelligence to the proposed 3D crowdsourced cadastral framework. A practical experiment for testing the examined technical solution is conducted. The produced results are assessed to be quite promising.
