In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 5.3.1 for operating systems Astra Linux, Windows, CentOS is developed. In the new version, in the task "Map Editor" a support for general parameters for selecting objects on the map is added: the color of the image highlighting, the color of the outline of selected objects. When changing color settings, the graphic style of the lines automatically changes when editing objects. In the 3D map in the tile layers, it has become possible to obtain data from several sources in order to accelerate the display of the map. The main page of the application is adapted for mobile devices. The administration module automatically detects whether a layer belongs to an external data source.

In the new version there is improved the toolkit of Web-application development the GIS WebToolKit SE, which extends the possibilities of GIS WebServer SE and can be integrated into other information systems. Access to data (images, vector maps, and terrain information) is provided by Web services using generally accepted OGC protocols and ISO standards. GIS WebService SE (OGC WMS / WMTS) provides spatial information in the form of graphic images. As a digital elevation model, various types of elevation data are used: matrixes (in SRTM, GeoTIFF, IMG, MTW formats), TIN-models, point cloud, and others. The service provides possibility of publishing the three-dimensional terrain models unloaded into DB3D format. These models can be obtained from files of the COLLADA type, as well as from photorealistic three-dimensional models of unlimited size (TLS, OC3).

As a source of spatial data, the Databank of digital maps and Remote Sensing Data can be used. It provides the collection, storage, search and delivery of spatial data in exchange formats, displaying the state of the data bank in the form of maps-schemes, and the automated formation and updating of geo-covers.

GIS WebServer SE is used in the construction of closed corporate systems to ensure the protection of data having a security classification or a trade secret. GIS WebServer SE is certified for Level 2 of absence of undeclared capabilities. The new version of the program expands the application's capabilities in solving problems of analysis, management and long-term planning of the territories development. GIS WebServer SE is implemented using the toolkit of GIS WebToolKit SE, which can be used in development tools that use the JavaScript.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" refined the technology of forming a high-precision measuring three-dimensional terrain model. Using this technology, an accurate 3D terrain model can be quickly obtained in several ways and with a combination of various input data.

A realistic high-precision 3D-model of the terrain can be obtained by shooting the terrain using unmanned aerial photography systems, processing and displaying the obtained data. The software imports three-dimensional models from tile models in the TLS format (Agisoft Tiled Model), point clouds in the Agisoft OC3 format and LAS files into the DB3D format. The database of three-dimensional tiles in DB3D format is used to store and display 3D models in the form of three-dimensional tiles from data of any type, scale range and length.

To obtain a 3D terrain model, high-altitude data (matrixes or tin models), space and aerial photographs, geoportal data and vector two-dimensional maps, for example, free maps on the base of OpenStreetMap, can be used. In this case, the terrain model is created by superimposing automatically created tiles with images or images of maps onto a high-altitude base (Applications. Building a 3D model). From vector two-dimensional maps, information on the location and characteristics of objects is added onto the terrain model. And for their volumetric display, the libraries of standard 3D models are used, which are supplied with the KB Panorama software.

All the described options for obtaining a three-dimensional terrain model can be used simultaneously or in any combination in desktop and Web applications. Examples of using the technology are shown in the video material the "GIS WebServer SE. Possibilities of creating realistic 3D-models of terrain", which is available for review in the Video lessons section.

Initial data on the territory of the city of Yekaterinburg were provided by the joint-stock company "Racurs", and the model of the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (Kronshtadt) by the LLC "Goescan" company.

In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of agronomist" version 13.1 is developed. The new version has expanded the functions of obtaining and viewing data of remote sensing of the Earth within the boundaries of agricultural land. Into the tasks line of satellite monitoring, there is added a package obtaining of maps of inhomogeneity zones on several contours of an arable land. The new mode simplifies work with a large number of fields, allows you to download maps of a given number of zones with a similar state of vegetation, or to calculate maps of nitrogen application. Differentiated fertilizer application according to inhomogeneity maps or nitrogen content maps makes it possible to increase productivity by rational selection of fertilizer doses.

When creating maps of heterogeneity zones with automatic selection of images, the amount of information on the contour of the arable land as a whole and for each zone separately was increased. Together with the map, the numbers of the most differing zones, the general level of heterogeneity, the index of heterogeneity and productivity of the entire land plot are saved, and the description of each zone is supplemented by local indices of heterogeneity and productivity. This information can be used in a more detailed analysis of the land plot state.

Into the mode "Viewing Remote Sensing Data" the window has been added for simultaneous viewing the matrixes of several vegetation indexes onto a contour of one agricultural land. This allows you to visually analyze the state of vegetation. The mode is intended for an unloading the maps of zoning by nitrogen of a working plot into a file-task of the onboard computer. Nitrogen zoning maps are loaded to a local disk or GIS Server in the satellite monitoring mode "Obtaining nitrogen demand maps". When unloading maps, the folder structure of the on-board computer is taken into account. The following types of on-board computers are supported: Trimble, Amazone, Raven, AgLeader, JohnDeere, Topcon and others.

Modes of satellite monitoring work with the "Panorama AGRO" database and support a data placement on a GIS Server for collective work in multi-user access mode. The download data source is a Geosys web service. The new version of the product can be downloaded on the website in the Download section.

From March, 4 till March, 6th, 2020 in Luanda (Republic of Angola) the conference "Modern technologies for the operational creation of cartographic materials" was held. The organizers of the event were the Angolan side - the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Angola, the Russian side - the Fund of development of geodetic science and education and the Moscow university of geodesy and cartography (MIIGAiK). The event was attended by leading Russian companies working in the field of geodesy, cartography and aerial photography. Specialists of KB "Panorama" presented the technologies for creating and updating digital topographic maps based on data from unmanned aerial vehicles using GIS "Panorama" and other software products of KB.

For three days, representatives of Russian companies familiarized Angolan specialists with the latest technologies for using remote sensing data obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles to create accurate cartographic materials. In the process, participants discussed the practical and economic aspects of UAV operation and processing of survey results.

Conference included theoretical and practical stages. The theoretical stage took place on the first day and included reports by Russian specialists on modern software development for photogrammetric processing of aerial photography data, the creation of various cartographic products and the construction of spatial data infrastructure.

The next day was devoted to aerial photography. The participants got acquainted with the whole aerial photography cycle with the use of SuperCam drones: from preparing a geodetic substantiation up to completing a flight mission.

On the third day of the conference, the results of data processing performed on the eve of aerial photography were demonstrated. They included orthophotomaps, digital models of terrain and relief, digital cartographic products, and their placement on WEB services. The technology and methods for processing orthophotomaps were presented in the preparation of digital topographic maps and plans using GIS "Panorama". Listeners have shown high interest in technological solutions and developments of Russian colleagues.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 5.3 is developed for operating systems Astra Linux, Windows, CentOS. In the new version, "Map Editor" provides an expanded set of functions and tools for editing geodata. It allows you to create new ones, modify existing map objects, and perform actions on a group of objects. Operations are performed in a web browser, their result is loaded onto the server. The editor’s user interface is displayed in a separate window for a better overview of the map. To assign or change an object type, use the "View" panel. An object type can be set without interrupting the current editing operation. To do this, just select the appropriate icon in the "View" panel. Images of views of objects are displayed in the form of a legend (tree) or in the form of a model of objects (table). For fast creation of objects the "Editor uses" templates of objects. Templates of objects - the graphic list of often used types of map objects. When you select a template, the editor automatically switches to the mode of creating the object of the specified type. When editing the first and last points of the object geometry, the possibility of the contour continuation is added. The editor informs the user about the performed actions: changing the type of an object, deleting, changing attributes, and other operations on objects. Information is recorded into the map event log, which can be viewed.
