Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and posted on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data" maps of the Leningrad and Arkhangelsk regions. Maps have been formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with 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) and saved to a packaged project (MPTZ). 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 program "Panorama Photo" has been developed for creating high-precision digital terrain models in the form of a cloud of points, matrixes of heights and orthophotomaps based on aerial photography from unmanned aerial vehicles. The processing process is fully automatic. The optional stage of measurement of support points on photos allows to increase the accuracy of orientation. Calculations are parallelized on a multi-core processor and video card, so an increase in the number of processor cores and video memory significantly speeds up the data processing process. On a computer with a modern video card and 128 GB of RAM for 1 sq. km of aerial photography with a dot size of about 2 cm, obtaining a three-dimensional model, a matrix of heights and orthophotomap takes within 1 hour.

"Panorama Photo" allows you to solve problems in the field of urban planning and cadastral activities, national defense, mapping, ecology, forestry and municipal services, and others. The data generated in "Panorama Photo" are used as a reliable and visual control tool in the construction and reconstruction of various types of municipal property and transport infrastructure. On the basis of data prepared by the complex, the three-dimensional terrain models are created, construction and analysis of mathematical models of emergency situations in the GIS "Panorama" is carried out.

Orthophotomaps created in "Panorama Photo" are the basis for identifying and monitoring the places of storage of various types of waste, conducting an inventory of forests to assess damage from fires, air pollution and illegal logging.

"Panorama Photo" is an independent software package and does not require installation of additional components. Ease of learning and a convenient graphical interface will allow the user to quickly start working in the program.

To evaluate the product, you can use the program for free for 30 days. You can get acquainted with the "Panorama Photo" complex on the website in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 14.2.3 has been developed for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (Release "Smolensk") and OS "Alt 8 SP" (architecture x86-64). In the new version the possibility of creation, updating and analysis of digital terrain models by including scripts in Python language into the software has been implemented. The tools for editing the classifier of conventional symbols have been improved, saving the digital maps in vector PDF format has been implemented, tools for displaying maps and terrain images, tools for importing files of exchange formats S57, SHP, MIF, KML, GML have been improved.

To solve diverse tasks of processing spatial data, the start of Python scripts has been added into the "Run application" mode. The mode initially contains a basic set of scripts for demonstrating the execution of various procedures for processing the coordinates and attributes of objects of vector maps, solving computational problems, converting data and other tasks. To connect his own tasks, the user can create his own themes and fill them with the necessary set of scripts. For the convenience of the user, the creation of a new script and its editing can be performed directly from the dialog. When writing scripts, several thousand GIS core functions (MAPAPI) are available. Function prototypes are declared as imported Python scripts from the folder /var/Panorama/Panorama14/py_mapapi14. The function called from the script performs some autonomous action or uses the selected objects on the map. To enter additional data processing parameters, both GIS dialogs and dialogs written on the basis of a standard Tkinter component can be called. Scripts indicate the progress of data processing by indicating the name of the processing stage and the percentage of completion in the main application window. By results of the analysis and processing the objects of a vector map can be selected and used for the further processing in a chain of executed scripts or interactive application tools. Scripts can be preliminarily prepared in a text editor, which is part of the operating system, and then be started by means of the task from the GIS "Operator". Because the Python scripting programming language has a large set of connected modules, the user receives an easy-to-use and extensive auxiliary toolkit (mathematical calculations, processing of text and graphic data, work with a network and another).

Saving of digital maps into a file of vector format PDF has been added. Due to the fact that the vector PDF format preserves the display quality at any display scale, the new mode can be used in the process of preparing reporting documents. For example, a user can combine a set of open maps, save them in vector PDF format, and transfer the resulting file for viewing in original quality at any scale using standard operating system tools. The new mode allows you to save the entire map or only the required fragment according to a rectangular fragment, object, or the size of the current window. Printing is performed at an arbitrary scale: for example, the user can select a map fragment at a small scale, and output it to a file at a larger one. Display of rasters with smoothing has been added. At increasing the image of a raster more than in two times from the initial size in pixels the smoothing is carried out. The new algorithm of display allows to get rid of "pixelization" effect when you increase the rasters. Image smoothing is performed by bicubic interpolation method (by 16 nearest raster elements). Smoothing is enabled or disabled via the main menu: "View" - "Raster smoothing".

In the "Classifier editor" task, tools for the description of clusters, formations of XSD-scheme by the classifier and editing of a layer's external view have been added. When grouping more than one object of a given type in a virtual cell of a cluster, their conventional symbols will be automatically replaced by a symbol of the cluster, the center of which will have the average coordinate of the objects included into it. When you change the scale, the configuration of the clusters automatically changes. The conventional sign of the cluster can be programmable, which allows you to select the type of cluster in various ways and change the properties of the sign depending on the number of objects in the cluster (signature of the number, size of the sign, brightness). In this case, the cluster icon can contain only the number of objects or other complementary elements of the conventional symbol. When drawing an object, various semantics can be taken into account, including links to graphic files, which makes the generalized sign more complex and informative. Maps with clusters customized in the RSC classifier are automatically supported in all desktop and web applications, as well as in applications developed in the GIS ToolKit and GIS Constructor.

Possibility of editing primitives "Table", "Line-colorglass" and "Cross polygon" has been added. The "Table" display type can be assigned to a point object that has a reference to CSV file in its semantics. Each column of the table can contain textual and numerical data, pictures (in PNG, JPG, BMP format), colored shapes and percentage scales. A table can have multiple pages.

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. For the"Line - colored glass" and "Hatched polygon" views, the user can customize in addition to the color and thickness of the displayed lines, additionally the brightness, contrast and transparency.

Abilities of displaying titles have been expanded. New properties of design the titles allow to mark the title by a shade, outline, a background and a frame, and also to format the text taking into account a spacing sign (an insert of spaces) and the chosen register (uppercase, lowercase, as in a sentence). There is added the ability to change the thickness of solid and dashed contours of objects by the value of the service semantics "Line thickness in mm" (31005).

Possibilities of applying user semantics have been expanded for recording arbitrary object properties which are not described in the list of semantics of RSC classifier. User semantics are created when importing vector data (SHP, KML, MIF and others), when the field names (keys) of object attributes are not found in the selected RSC classifier. To support such semantics, temporary semantics are created in the RSC classifier in the range of codes 660000 and higher for the duration of a GIS session. Semantics name is filled by name of fields in the source vector data. When simultaneous opening several maps with one classifier, the list of temporary semantics will be supplemented with user semantics from all maps. When opening different combinations of maps, temporary codes in different sessions may have different values. When exporting vector maps to SXF and TXF files, user semantics is written with code 32862 and data record of the form "field_name:value". When imported, such semantics are transfered back into temporary semantics with the addition of new code to RSC. On the map, semantics are written with codes in the range from 60000 and above. The correspondence between the semantics code on the map and the field name is stored in the map metadata. When opening a map by the list of field names of user semantics, temporal semantics are automatically added into RSC.

Support of XML files having the size more than 4 GB has been added. Processing of XML format is used in a wide range of applications (for example, importing data in GML format). The digital classifier of sea maps S57navy.rsc and the procedure for importing digital maps of the S57 standard have been improved to increase the degree of compliance of the displayed maps with the S52 standard.

GIS "Operator" SE - universal domestic geoinformation system for power structures.

The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks of modeling the movement of special objects against the background of 3D model, forecasting of consequences of emergencies at hazardous objects, monitoring of aircraft movement, conducting of geodetic and topographic work, processing the data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing the displayed spatial data to various output devices and many others.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.4.1 has been developed. The new version includes tools for managing the versions of digital maps when performing field work or processing remote sensing data, group designing of reports on selected areas of maps, group editing and control of object attribute values, displaying sea maps, generating land survey plans and forest declarations.

A new task "Map comparing" has been developed for control of versions of digital vector maps, dispatching of updating the digital data about the area by employees when performing field work or processing remote sensing data. If there is a stable connection of employees with the server of spatial data, the update can be performed based on the connection to the base map through the GIS Server. In the absence of necessary connection or necessity to organise updating with preliminary check of the executed operations it is possible to apply a new task. The task ensures the issuance and acceptance of a work map (a fragment of a common base map) for the same territory for several operators. This possibility allows you to perform parallel tasks on updating of the map data. For example, one operator can specify the coordinates of cadastral plots, the second one can update the power grid facilities, the third one can update the gas facilities. When data is received, a consistency check is made between the changed work map data and the current state of the base map. At the first stage of working the task, a fragment of a digital map is selected and the standard of the given fragment is memorized. Upon completion of the map update, the receiving of a map from the operator is carried out. At this stage, a table of changes in the work map is formed in comparison with the standard and the current state of the base map. The table contains records about changing the composition of objects, updating the metrics and semantics of objects.

To fill in the table, the analysis of changes by the operator of the work map and the analysis of changes in the corresponding fragment of the base map by other operators from the moment the work map was issued are carried out. Two sets of maps changes are compared against each other on absence of contradictions. If there are no conflicts, the lines of the change table contain green checkmarks and the corresponding changes can be accepted automatically. If there are contradictions, the lines contain question marks that require the intervention of the administrator who accepts the updated work map. The administrator must decide whether to accept or reject the current change. If the change is rejected, a red cross will appear in the selected cell of the table; otherwise, a green checkmark will appear. The status bar contains the number of decisions that were not made. Before accepting changes of the work map, it is recommended to resolve all contradictions. Such approach allows to minimise possible losses or information distortions when updating the map.

A new application "Slicing and bordering selected fragments" has been added into the group of applications "Map sheets processing and generalization". The task is intended for automatic preparation for printing of a set of map fragments designed in accordance with the accepted conventional symbols. To prepare for printing, the map is sliced along the contours selected on the map and the standard marginal design is formed for them, as for the nomenclature sheets of a topographic map. The design map is created according to the classifier of the source map, however, all design elements are created in the form of graphic objects. Therefore, they can be transferred without distortion to a map created using any classifier. The frame of a designed fragment can have any form and contain an arbitrary number of points (vertices).

In the classifier editor, in the "Semantics" bookmark on the panel of properties, the "Round up" field has been added. When requesting a value of numeric semantics when displaying labels and values in various dialogs, the value is rounded to the number of digits specified in the Decimal point field in the Classifier Editor. For example, if the semantics stores the value 17.132, then 17.13 would be displayed for a precision of 2 digits. If the property "Round up" is enabled, then 17.14 will be displayed. The classifier of aeronautical maps dfc.rsc has been improved. To all semantics containing the values of heights of obstacles and marks of heights the property "Round up" is set.

In the classifier editor in the "Objects" bookmark on the properties panel in the "Others" bookmark, the "Design object" field has been added. This property is set for auxiliary design objects on the map, which improve the readability of the map, but are not terrain objects (shading of road intersections, filling signs for polygons during publication, etc.). When viewing information in the "Request of the map object description" dialog (button on the main panel), design objects are automatically skipped.

When selecting objects at a point, design objects are skipped if the "Skip design objects" property is not disabled in the Options menu. This allows the operator to immediately turn to the description of the required terrain object, reducing the number of manual operations. The classifier for maintaining a unified digital cartographic basis (EEKO) for federal, regional, municipal purposes map5000m.rsc has been improved.

The task "Editing semantics of objects list" has been improved. To process a large number of selected objects, it is provided to fill the table of semantics in portions. Ranges of displayed data are formed depending on the total number of source objects (each section contains no more than 60 000 positions). When a range is selected, the next batch of selected objects is dynamically loaded into the table. The output of information about objects into Excel tables is also carried out in portions. To control the admissibility of semantic values, the cells of the table of semantics are colored: yellow color - when the semantics value deviates from the allowable range specified in the RSC classifier, pink color - when the value does not match the semantics type (for example, a character string instead of a number, date, angular value, or an arbitrary string instead of the value from the list for semantics -list).

Into "Select object" dialog onto the toolbar the "All object in window" button has been added. This tool allows you to display the currently viewed object in the map window by analogy to the combination of keys Ctrl+Alt+W for the selected object. To control the admissibility of semantic values, the cells of semantic values are colored yellow or pink if the range or type of the value is violated.

Displaying sea maps according to the S52 standard has been improved. The implementation of the procedures has been refined: Depval - formation of depth values based on attribute values for underwater obstacles, taking into account underlying objects, Udwhaz - requesting the code of the displayed symbol and display flag, taking into account the depth of the obstacle, or requesting the code of an isolated underwater hazard with a depth less than the safety contour.

The block of geodesy and cadastral tasks has been improved. The mode "Land survey plan" has been modified for formation of an XML-document according to the version 9 xml-scheme. Formation of the electronic document is carried out in accordance with the Rosreestr Order No. P/0341 dated 09/16/2022. In accordance with the version 9 xml-scheme, the survey.v6 classifier has been improved, the semantics "Type of land use by order N 540" and "Encumbrances (restrictions) (list)" have been updated, and a new semantics "Additional information about formation of a land plot" has been added. The XML-document of the land survey plan of any version, can be generated only on a map created on the basis of the classifier survey. The program automatically checks date of updating the classifier and decides on the schema version of the XML document. If the classifier update date is younger than 2022/10/03, the XML document is generated according to version 8. If the classifier update date is older than 2022/10/03, the XML document is generated according to version 9.

Report templates for the Forest Declaration have been developed that meet the requirements of Order No. 303 of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021. The mode "To print summary report on selected objects" has been improved. An element has been added in the dialog that includes a list of attachments to the forest declaration form.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 6.9.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, MS Windows. The new version has improved data visualization tools and tools for their analysis. Components the Cartogram, Map Legend, Map contents are updated, the administration module has been improved.

The Cartogram component supports interactive charts. The chart is created from various sources: according to the data when importing a csv file or according to the semantics of map objects. Interactive statistical chart elements help to analyze information online, view a list of map objects for a chart element, see the dynamics of indicator changes and reduce decision-making time.

Possibility to look through or edit a map has been added, using arbitrary user images of point objects. It allows to create new images of a map with the minimum efforts and time expenses. The required marker images are selected from the collection of application's images or can be uploaded to the server for use in the map.

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. The program is certified by the 2nd level of control over the absence of undeclared capabilities. GIS WebServer SE is implemented using the GIS WebToolKit SE, which can be used in development tools that use the JavaScript and TypeScript.

On the basis of GIS WebServer SE and other server products of KB "Panorama" the Regional GIS of the Ryazan region (RGIS RО) has been implemented. This is a specialized multifunctional geoportal, the interactive capabilities of which provide access to reliable information about objects of various categories. RGIS RO is available to a wide range of users - to the authorities, citizens, organizations, including potential investors and private companies. The regional GIS of the Ryazan region helps in making decisions in various areas of socio-economic development.

New version of the program is posted on the website in the Download section.
