The specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed on the geoportal "Bank of the spatial data" maps of the Tomsk region and the Altai Republic. The maps were formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the maps, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The maps were led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m.rsc) and were saved into a packed project (MPTZ). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region's territory (country, subject of the federation, administrative region), a map of the administrative-territorial division of the region and a digital classifier. Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

In KB "Panorama" the Imagery Service version 9.1.0 has been developed. In the new version the speed of working the service has been increased when monitoring large data sets. The Imagery Service allows you to track changes in spatial data in real time and rebuild only the changed areas. The program carries out monitoring the data changes: by the transaction log - for vector data, by the update time - for raster and matrix data. Imagery Service allows to automatically maintain tile data arrays on the geoportal up to date state.

In the new version the administrator interface has been improved. Descriptions for matrixes, the size of a tile, the projection description were added. Support of server message logging has been added. Support for large volumes of spatial data (satellite images, DEMs, vector maps) was added.

Panorama Imagery Service is a service designed to create and update tile pyramids in PNG, PNG8 or JPEG formats using spatial data managed by the GIS Server program. Pyramids of tiles are published using OGC WMTS protocol by service the GIS WebService SE. As the clients of services, there can be various GIS supporting the OGC WMTS protocol and users of the GIS WebServer SE program. Pyramids of tiles can be created on the base of a combination of digital vector maps, space and aerial photography, matrixes of elevations, data from geoportals and other data.

The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed a map of Ethiopia on the geoportal "Bank of the spatial data". The map has been formed according to OpenStreetMap data, source data were obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m.rsc). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

In KB "Panorama" the professional vectoriozer "Panorama-Editor" version 13.6.1 has been developed. In the new version, in the "Map Editor" task, the composition of the "Graphic Objects" panel has been expanded: modes have been added for controlling the color, scale, transparency of the conventional symbol of the object selected on the map. In the mode of editing common vertexes the function of capture of nodes of other objects ('K') has been added. In the mode of union of selected line objects, the option Create polyline has been added to combine the selected line objects into one object. In the task "Lists of objects", the "Matching contours" mode has been added into the crossings search. The mode carries out search of objects at which the external and internal contours are matched. The direction of digitization, the position of the starting points and the sequence of the contours of the found objects may not coincide. The tools for viewing and editing tables of attributes of spatial databases, searching for data and viewing tables with a large number of records have been expanded. "Panorama Editor" provides direct display and editing of arbitrary spatial databases in cartographic conventional symbols, including those created by other GIS, without additional third-party modules based on direct interaction with PostgreSQL and Oracle DBMS through SQL queries.

The block of geodesy and cadastral tasks has been improved. In a mode "the Information from the state cadastre of real estate" a support API of functions of Rosreestra on access to the data has been implemented. The mode provides sending requests for information about the cadastral objects available at the specified point. The obtained information in the form of a list of cadastral numbers is displayed on the corresponding pages of the dialog. When choosing a specific cadastral number of an object, a request and display of public cadastral information about a quarter, land plot or real estate object are performed.

To improve the quality of created digital topographic and special maps and reduce the complexity of their verification, the automated data control tools have been updated. In the task "Control of absolute heights", the possibility of using the filter of objects for changing the composition of processed map objects has been implemented. Using the filter, you can specify: map layers and types of objects (localization), objects samples, list of nomenclature sheets, semantic and spatial characteristics of objects. Preliminary assessment of control results has been added. When a large number of errors "Discrepancy of elevation and code" (comparable to the total number of contour lines in the region) are issued, a message is displayed about the possible incorrectness of the vertical interval of relief in the map passport. The task "Coordination of adjacent sheets" has been improved, which perform a checking the coordination of objects of adjacent sheets of a vector map with the issuance of an error log. There is added a check for the digitizing direction of linear objects going on the sheet frame. Objects with the direction of digitization "Predefined" (linear rivers), "Lower right" (horizontals) are checked. The program of checking a vector map has been improved. Into the report on execution of the quality control of the DTM, the output of information on the control's types "Control of values by symbol table" and "Unique value control" has been added. The control of values by the symbol table allows you to find Latin characters in the values of the selected symbolic semantics and to replace Latin characters with Cyrillic characters. Control of unique values is used to check the repetition of semantics' values for which the "Unique value in the sheet" property is set in the map classifier. A new mode "Control of values by symbol table" has been added into the control of objects semantics. This control allows you to find Latin characters in the values of the selected symbolic semantics and replace Latin characters with Cyrillic characters. This mode is relevant for characters that have the same image in Latin and Cyrillic, for example: K, A, M, E, P, T, O, H and others. Correction of the text semantics is necessary for the correct operation of tasks of search by the value of symbolic semantics, for example: by the name of the city, street, surname.

In the "Map print" dialog the ability has been added to limit the display area of the map by the specified boundary (for example, the administrative boundary of the territory). In this case, you can set the degree of transparency of the map display outside the borders of the main contour of the object from 0 (source image) to 100% (completely filled).

When forming world maps from a set of maps sheets in SXF format, the ability has been added to transfer sheets by longitude on +/-360 degrees. It allows to duplicate the columns of sheets in the western and\or eastern hemisphere for expansion of dimensions of work region up to -360/+360 degrees. The recalculation of coordinates and sheet passport will be performed automatically when importing the work region using the DIR file.

In the task "Classifier Editor" a customization has been added for automatic recoding the semantics of the type "Classifier code (list)" when updating the classifier. This makes it possible to automate the process of replacing the list (a list of values and their codes) and rebuilding a series of objects created on the basis of the replaced semantics. When the user replaces the old classifier in the folder with the map and opens the map, objects will be automatically recoded with the formation of new semantics that have values from the new values classifiers. Objects will be displayed with new conventional symbols. When replacing it with the old classifier, the conventional symbols will return to their previous view.

The survey.v5.rsc classifier has been updated, designed for creating land survey, technical plans, inspection reports, documents containing information about land management objects, public and other cadastral maps, drawings, as well as for reproduction of information contained in cadastral plans of territories and cadastral extracts of real estate objects. In the classifier there is expanded the list of objects to which the "Floor type" semantics (code 1119) has been added, necessary for preparing technical plans on creation, formation of objects of real estate, parts of real estate objects, as well as technical plans for changing information about real estate objects and their parts.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer AGRO version 3.0.1 has been developed. In the program the new version of the map editor has been implemented. The new editor provides a wide range of functions and tools for editing the metrics and semantics of objects on the map of agricultural land and objects of an infrastructure. In this case, the data can be represented both as a file of a digital map and as a table in the spatial database.

The editor user interface is displayed in a separate window for a better overview of the map. It allows you to create new, modify existing map objects, perform actions on a group of objects. Operations are performed in a web browser and the result is uploaded to the server. Use the "View" panel to assign or change an object type. The 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 objects views are displayed as a legend (tree) or as a layout 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 a template is selected, the editor automatically switches to the mode of creating an object of the specified type. The editor informs the user about the actions being performed: changing the type of an object, deleting, changing attributes and other operations on objects. The information is recorded into the map event log, which can be viewed.

The editor implements support for graphic objects, without selecting a conventional symbol from the map classifier file. Ability has been added to create an arbitrary visual representation of geographic objects. Users can define the parameters of the appearance of lines and areas: color, transparency, thickness, line type, select hatching, fonts and their design for text. The customized visual representation of the object is saved as a style and can be used repeatedly.

In the new version of GIS WebServer AGRO, the user and administrator interface of the application has been updated. The new tools have been added, allowing to minimise and change the interface of the main map window. There is implemented the ability to display map controls in the side panel, which is located to the left or to right of the map and provides a convenient interface for managing the toolbox.

The structure and interface of the administration module has been changed. In the module the possibility of conducting projects was added. Projects in GIS WebServer AGRO are created automatically and linked directly to agricultural enterprises described in the agrarian database, customized by means of "Panorama AGRO".

GIS WebServer AGRO uses the GIS WebService SE cartographical service as a source of spatial data. Synchronization of cartographic information described in the "Panorama AGRO" database and information published on GIS WebService SE is carried out automatically. In the new version of GIS WebServer AGRO, the visualization of the map has been updated, drawing was accelerated and the layout of wms layers has been improved.

For collective work with data, digital maps of farmland and enterprise infrastructure are placed on the GIS Server. Its use allows you to synchronize the work of the desktop "Panorama AGRO", web applications and mobile clients. Desktop applications such as GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of agronomist" and others can be connected to the server. It allows the mobile clients working through web to process the same data together with desktop clients.

You can get acquainted with an example of work of GIS WebServer AGRO on the page of the demo project "Agroportal". The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.
