In KB "Panorama" the Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data version 7 has been developed. The new version supports storage of digital vector maps, city plans, remote sensing data, terrain models, geodetic points, geodetic networks for special purposes (GNSP) and lines of state leveling networks (SLN), technical documents and their metadata. Conducting of metadata of analog maps and analog images and the accounting of their movement is carried out.

The Databank implements an algorithm for creating, updating and deleting datasets and metadata in two hands. All metadata state changes require approval if made by a user who does not have metadata approval rights. After approval of the changes, the old record is transferred into the archive status, with the possibility of later viewing. The manager always has access to information about the user who performed the operation, the date and time of the operation, and the previous state of the data.

A system of remote notifications of managers about the changes made in the data bank has appeared. You can customize what data you want to track and receive information about all changes by e-mail.

The list of metadata for integration with systems of planning and the organisation of works for digital mapping of territories has been significantly expanded. Conducting coordinates and heights of geodetic points in different systems has been added. Toolls of recalculation of coordinates from SCS to LCS were added. Import and export of metadata and directories in office suite formats have been added. For analog maps and images, material flow accounting has been implemented. The type of operation (issue, replenishment), document-basis, date and time are recorded.

Tools for work with directories of the metadata are added, allowing to expand the list of the metadata and to support various versions of metadata. Directories can be grouped by themes. All changes in directories require approval if they were made by a user who does not have the right to approve metadata. Viewing of archival directories allows you to control all made editing. Possibility of search of duplicated values has been added.

Data security is ensured by the differentiation of access rights based on security tools included in the operating system. Basic authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (via web server), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory) are supported. The complex is adapted to work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, MS Windows and others) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal). The program is registered in the register of domestic software under the number 1862.

The databank of digital maps and remote sensing data is the basis for building infrastructure of spatial data of federal, regional and municipal levels, in corporate information systems. Within the framework of a single geoinformation space, the Data Bank of digital maps and remote sensing data realises gathering, storage, quality control, search and delivery of the spatial data in exchange formats. The spatial data selected by means of the program can be placed for the multiuser access on the GIS Server and be published according to the international standards OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on application server the GIS WebService SE. Users can access data from both a thin client (by means of GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). The databank of digital maps and remote sensing data provides construction of cloud warehouse of spatial data, provision of access to these data, the automated formation and updating of geocovers.

The current state of spatial data is displayed by means of maps-schemes that are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrixes and terrain models. It provides remote placing the sets of spatial data into file warehouse, keeping versions of stored sets, updating maps-schemes of data availability, the automated collection and formation of metadata, and the formation and updating of geocovers. Automated collection and formation of metadata is performed according to the standards of ISO 19115: 2003, Geographic information - Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information - Metadata - XML schema implementation. The reduced copies of data images are automatically formed, checksum of files and completeness of data sets are checked. Placement of spatial data into file storage is performed with integrity check, control of data structure and content. The results of the work are recorded and are entered into the metadata base. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage with integrity control and data recovery has been provided. Multilingual interface is supported.

The portal "Bank of spatial data" presents the possibilities of organizing storage, accounting and and issuance of vector maps, remote sensing data, matrixes of heights and the terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, generated on the basis of data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The spatial data includes maps of: subjects of the Russian Federation, countries and cities of the near and far abroad. In total, over 240 vector maps and 6700 matrix data with a total volume of 56 GB. Specialists of KB "Panorama" weekly update and refresh the content of the information on the portal. All published data is distributed free of charge under a free license.

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

To use smartphones as an effective means of displaying and analyzing spatial data, KB "Panorama" has developed a mobile application (for iOS and Android) and modernized GIS WebServer SE to support the operation of the mobile application by means of cloud storage and data processing. The mobile application provides access to public data of the geoportal operating under the control of GIS WebServer SE and allows you to search and filter objects in the system, to view information about found objects, to build traffic routes and geolocation.

The mobile application is adapted for use as part of the state information system "Regional geoinformation system of the Ryazan region" (RGIS RO). In 2021, in order to inform an unlimited number of users of RGIS RO about objects of social, transport, telecommunications infrastructure, financial organizations, investment sites in the Ryazan Region, the system was supplemented with a mobile application and a mobile version of the RGIS RO website.

The mobile application as part of the RGIS RO is intended for viewing and analyzing public data sorted by categories, information about the state and dynamics of development of objects and territories. The mobile application expands the range of users of the system and makes it available not only to government officials, but also to a wide range of users - for citizens, organizations, including potential investors and companies that participate in urban planning activities. The development of RGIS RO is one of the important tasks that the government of the Ryazan Region is implementing as part of the digital transformation of the region.

The client part of RGIS RO is implemented in the form of a single geoportal on the Internet and a mobile application. The server part runs under the control of the domestic operating system Astra Linux Special Edition and consists of GIS WebService SE, GIS WebServer SE and GIS Server. Preparation of data for publication is carried out in the GIS "Panorama". All software products are included in the register of domestic software and comply with information security requirements for level 2 of control over the absence of undeclared possibilities.

On December 23, 2021, an online intensive the "Software and services in the agro-industrial complex" took place. The event was organized by the FGBU VO the Russian state agrarian correspondence university. More than 70 representatives of universities who are interested in introducing information technologies of advanced agricultural enterprises into the educational process, a forming the IT competencies of students of the trained ones.

Representatives of KB "Panorama" made a presentation on the topic "Remote access to the management system of an agricultural enterprise in the field of crop production based on GIS "Panorama AGRO". During the speech, the main capabilities of GIS WebServer AGRO were identified, as well as its real application as a module for accounting for agricultural lands of the regional geoinformation system of the Ryazan region was demonstrated.

GIS WebServer AGRO is a system of software modules that together make it possible to build complex distributed and scalable corporate information systems that provide automation of business processes for agricultural management of an agricultural enterprise. GIS WebService SE is used as a source of cartographic data. The database of cartographic data is operated by the GIS Server. The configuration of the sectoral database of soil fertility is carried out using the GIS "Panorama AGRO".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the map of the Stavropol Krai on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was 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) and was 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 "Workstation of urban planner" version 14.1.0 has been developed. The new version expands the tools for the formation and updating of digital maps and city plans used in urban planning. In the "Select object" dialog, the ability has been implemented for adding and editing semantics of type the "Link to the file folder". The semantics contains the name of the folder, which contains many files of different formats. When referring to the semantics "Link to the file folder", a list of files contained in the root folder and subfolders is automatically generated. By double-clicking on the chosen file, the corresponding program of recognizing and processing the file is started. When referring to documents, tables and graphic images, the contents of the file are displayed, when referring to spatial data, the dataset is opened in a separate GIS window.

On the "Semantics" bookmark, the "Select similar objects" and "Select objects by semantics" items have been added to the context menu. When selecting objects similar to the selected one, a coincidence is checked in terms of the layer, character of localization, the object code and the coincidence of the value of the current semantics or the semantics selected on the bookmark. When selecting objects by semantics the value coincidence of only current semantics or marked semantics is checked.

In the "Metrics" bookmark, a fast copying into a clipboard of all coordinates of the metrics using the Ctrl+A key combination has been implemented. The "Display order" item has been added into the context menu of the "Metric" bookmark for selecting the "Above everyone", "Below all", "Normal" property, which affects the position of an object relative to other objects. When the "Normal" property is set, the display order of the object is determined in the classifier by its layer, type of conventional symbol and localization. Into the context menu of the "Metric" bookmark the "Save metric coordinates to EPSG:3857" item has been added, intended for saving the object metric in GeoJson format in the Mercator projection on the WGS-84 sphere. The received file can be used for addition of objects on the Public cadastral map.

In the "Map Editor" task, the mode "Create object" by the metric coordinates entered from the keyboard has been improved. To speed up the work, the ability to copy and paste coordinate values using the clipboard has been expanded (key combination Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V). The modes of creating a linear and areal object have been improved using the new parameter "Snap at shortest distance", which is activated when the corresponding item of the context menu is selected or by pressing the "hot" key "W".

To display various tabular information on the map, a new graphic symbol "Table" has been developed. To display the table in the desired position, a point object is created that has a link to the CSV file in the semantics and a conventional symbol of the "Table" type. The graphic parameters of the table are customized in semantics of the object, in the RSC classifier or in the graphic parameters of the object. The table can contain from 1 to 256 columns. Each column allows you to place data of the selected type: text and numerical data, pictures in PNG, JPG, BMP format, colored figures and percentage scales. The table can consist of one or more pages. The number of pages is set in semantics "Number of table pages". The table width is calculated automatically based on the column widths, taking into account the number of pages and the distance between the pages. If it is necessary to change the width of the table, it can be specified in the "Table width" semantics. Table parameters are customized in the "Editing a table" dialog. The map with the created tables will have one view in desktop, mobile, web-applications on any platforms, with local placement or on the GIS Server and at printing. A layer with tables can be opened on top of any other data - spatial databases, geoportals, remote sensing data. The map, together with CSV files and background data, can be packed into one file of SITZ/MAPZ/MPTZ formats.

The "Map Legend" task has been improved. On the "Maps" bookmark, the "Paste selected objects" menu item has been added into the context menu. This mode allows you to paste objects previously copied to the clipboard onto one or several selected maps in the tree.

Into the menu "Options" the items were added "Show all objects" and "Display/Inform window". The mode "Show all objects" is intended for displaying all map objects without taking into account the range of objects visibility and the contents of the map display. To quickly enable and disable the mode, a combination of hot keys Ctrl+Shift+A has been added. The mode "Display/Inform window" is intended to enable or disable a pop-up message that informs the operator about the result of the action performed in the document window.

The task "Data list of maps" has been improved. On the "Matrix" bookmark a call of the modes "Change of location of a matrix on dx/dy meters" and "Optimization of the list of matrixes of quality" has been added. The mode "Change of location of a matrix on dx/dy meters" is intended for changing the binding of matrixes of height, layers and qualities of the document onto a specified value in meters. Changing the location is carried out both for one and for all matrixes of the document. Optimization of the matrix of qualities is performed to reduce the file size, as well as to update tiles of the matrix for different display scales. Reducing the file size is achieved by cutting the image by the specified frame.

The task "Connecting data from geoportals" has been improved. There is added a support for the geoportal of the Russian Federal Geological Fund - Objects of accounting for the state balance of mineral reserves, demonstrating the presence of minerals. The geoportal includes 3 layers: Hydrocarbon raw materials, Solid fuel minerals, Common minerals. Improved support for the Rosreestr geoportal. The speed of displaying data from geoportals has been increased due to requests for the availability of data for selected territories. Display of vector information has been improved, captions have been added and "outliers" in vector tiles have been corrected.

The task "Load coordinates from a Microsoft Office Excel file (*.xls, *.xlsx)" has been improved. The task allows you to plot objects on the map from an Excel file for all lines or for a range of lines specified by the user. The mode of forming a list of correspondences between table fields and object semantics has been updated. The semantics for a list can be found by name, code, or key, which allows you to speed up the process of creating a list. In the modes "Save/Restore settings" the ability has been added to save the list of configured semantics in the ini - user file.

The task "Import of raster data" has been improved. There is added an import of rasters in MrSID (SID, NTF) and ERDAS (ECW, JP2) formats. The formats are used to store compressed bitmap graphics. Packed huge MrSID bitmaps, such as aerial photography and satellite photos, can be quickly viewed piece by piece without having to unzip the entire file.

In the task "Saving a vector map to files of graphic formats", an export of an image of an open document into the KMZ format has been added. The formed KMZ archive contains the KML project file and a set of raster tiles pyramid for the saved territory. The KML file contains a description of the raster data parameters - the names and coordinates of the rasters binding, as well as the priority of their display. In addition to the KMZ format, the task can save images into BMP, TIFF, JPEG, PNG and RSW formats. A fragment of a digital map document of any type and composition can be saved, including vector maps, images and matrices, as well as geospatial data from external Internet resources (WMS and WFS - services) and databases. The task implements the ability to save the map image by the selected area, by the page format and by the dimensions of the selected objects. In the Complex of urban planning tasks, the modes "Load/Unload in GML" have been updated according to the recommendations of the FSIS TP.

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