In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 15.1.0 has been developed. In the new version a number of modes of the tasks "Cadastral documents" and "Geodesy editor" have been improved. In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, the import of information onto the map from a file has been added according to the extract_about_property_under_construction XML schema used for forming an XML document - an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate about a real estate object (an object under construction). Based on the results of reading, an object of unfinished construction is put onto the map and its semantics are filled in with values from an electronic document.

In the database of cadastral works, data loading by points of the geodetic network from a CSV file has been implemented. This function ensures the transfer of information about points from the catalog of coordinates in csv format into the database of cadastral works. A table of customer representatives has been added in the structure of the cadastral works database. Into the customer's editing form the corresponding field (except physical persons) has been added. An email address field has also been added. A form for editing information about the customer's representative has been added.

In the "Map (plan) of a land management object" mode, a reading from the cadastral works database of information on the customer's representative, including details of the power of attorney, has been added.

In accordance with the requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated December 8, 2015 N 921 "On approval of the form and composition of land survey plan information, requirements for its preparation" (Registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on January 20, 2016 N 40651) paragraph 46, Description of the passage of part of the boundaries of the land plot in sections of the text part of the land survey plan is indicated if parts of the boundaries of the land plot coincide with the location of the external boundaries of natural objects and (or) objects of artificial origin, including linear objects, information about which is contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

To fulfill this requirement, the program implements an algorithm that uses linear objects corresponding to segments of the land plot’s metrics, plotted on the map using the "Decorating a parcel with border lines" mode. For those sections of borders that meet the requirements of clause 46, for linear objects it is necessary to fill in the semantic value "Description of passing the border". In the "Land survey plan" mode, the program will automatically search for linear objects using the metrics of the land plot . If a plot boundary is found and it has a semantic value of 1032 "Description of passing the border", the corresponding value is inserted into the report. If semantics is not filled, a dash is inserted into the report. If there are no "Border of a plot" objects or the search flag is not set, then the value from the settings of the "Cadastral documents" task is inserted into the report. For the functioning of the described algorithm, it is necessary to use the new version of the survey classifier, containing the objects "The formed parcel boundary is accurate", "The formed parcel boundary is not accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is not accurate".

In the "Land survey plan" mode, the "Kind of file for directory" column has been added into the "Attached files" table on the "Applications" page. In the "Land survey plan" dialog on the "Cadastral Engineer" and "Customer of cadastral works" pages, data verification for extraneous information has been added in the input fields. When forming an XML document of a land survey plan, in the absence at the specified object in the new nodes of the corresponding point objects - the formed points, information about the coordinates was not formed. An error in searching for points of the source object taking into account the semantics "Cadastral number" and "Account number" has been fixed. The order of formation of the SpecifyRelatedParcel element for an adjacent property, in which a section of the adjacent border passed through the first point, has been corrected.

For the "Technical plan of the parking space" mode, the ability of starting for objects selected on the map has been added. This ensures the operation of dividing one parking space into two or more, with the formation method "Other".

In the "Registry error correction" mode, a check has been added to ensure that an empty PointPref element is not written. Search for point objects in metric point nodes has been corrected. On the corrected boundary of the plot, in the absence of the "old" point, only new coordinates are recorded.

In the "Editing the semantics of object of cadastral work" dialog, the technology for storing information about the types of address elements - geonyms - has been improved. To support simultaneous data input in text form and with selection from the directory, two different elements are used. Two different semantics are used to store data. For the mode functioning, it is necessary to use the updated classifier classifier survey.v6 or survey.v5.

For the "Create point objects from *.csv file" mode, the processing of the line with the signature text has been corrected. Elements have been added to display information about the field code of a point, which displays the value from the first line of data. The program has changed the algorithm for reading and parsing fields in a data line of a CSV file. Reading of several variants of lines is provided. One line can contain from three to five data fields, including: N - point name, XY - plan coordinates, H - height and C - point code. Errors in the initial initialization of information about the installed codes of signatures and signs of their putting onto the map have been corrected. Recording the point code has been added into the semantics of the "Field survey point code" (code 235).

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS Server version 11.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux SE, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 8, CentOS 7 and MS Windows. The new version of the program implements the possibility of domain authentication on the GIS Server for Linux included in Active Directory. The client personal computers included in the domain, can run both under control of Linux OS, and under control of MS Windows OS. The ability to authenticate old clients is preserved: Linux clients - on the Linux GIS Server in the ALD domain (using the SASL - Kerberos protocol), MS Windows clients - on the GIS Server in MS Windows in the Active Directory domain (using the SSPI protocol). For users, it does not matter what OS the GIS Server operates under: the GIS client application will automatically select the required protocol.

GIS Server provides remote access to vector maps, remote sensing data and spatial databases. Placing data on a server ensures data protection from illegal viewing, copying, modification and printing. The user selects data to work by their conventional names (aliases). GIS Server SE supports multi-level connections between each other for distributed storage and processing of spatial data with automatic replication and backup.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.1.0 has been developed. In the new version the applications for the "Complex of geological tasks", "Complex of 3D analysis", tasks of preparation of cadastral documents and conducting a base of cadastral works, "Classifier Editor" have been updated. Display of complex conventional symbols has been improved, support for domain authentication on the GIS Server in a heterogeneous domain has been added, support has been added for addition, intersection and cutting of lists when selecting objects in a closed area.

In the "Complex of geological tasks" the mode "Construction of engineering-geological profiles in the form of the scheme" has been improved, which provides creation of a drawing of a scheme of an engineering-geological cut in the form of the user map. Means of adjustment of parametres of the created scheme are improved, the list of scales of a scale of depths and a scale of lengths is expanded. The tools for customizing the parameters of the created scheme have been improved, the list of scales for the depth scale and lengths scale has been expanded. To improve the visualization of the scheme and facilitate its editing, you can use models of a relief. If there is an open model of a relief (matrix of heights, matrix of layers, TIN model, point cloud), the creation of a scheme is carried out taking into account the heights of the relief. The ground surface line and borehole layers are put onto the scheme in accordance with the heights requested along the line of geological cut with a given step. In the absence of the model of a relief, the layers of wells are put onto the scheme using rectangular objects. The complex of geological tasks is intended for processing the results of engineering geological researches, preparation and formation of drawings of engineering-geological columns and cuts, modelling of a relief, a geological structure and hydro-geological conditions, calculation of volumes and creation of plans of earthworks.

The task "Calculation of reserves of solid minerals" task, which is part of the "Complex of 3D analysis", has been improved. The task is designed to assess the scale of mineral reserves and resources in the development of open-pit deposits. The new version adds support for various types of terrain models. In addition to matrices of heights (MTW), it is possible to use point clouds (MTD), matrices of layers (MTL) and TIN models. "Complex of 3D analysis" is designed to create surface models and solve spatial analysis problems using constructed models.

The task "Map Editor - Graphic objects - Point mark options" has been improved. Dialog interface has been updated. The grid step in the point mark drawing area has been increased, which allows you to apply graphic shapes more accurately. The ergonomics of the modes for drawing points, contour lines, circles and patterns have been improved.

The "Classifier Editor" task has been improved. On the "Objects" and "Semantics" tabs, the ability to filter/search by all characteristics at once (name, code, key, number/guide) has been added. This search type is set by default. When you select a found object, the background color highlights the line of the characteristic by which the object was found. If the characteristic value completely matches the search string, the background color becomes light green, if incomplete - becomes yellow. A list has been added to the search line, in which the typed strings of effective search are saved. Selecting a line from the list makes it possible, if necessary, to quickly return to the previous search and its results.

The display of the vector sign has been improved. When placing a sign on a map, the sign is disproportionately stretched to its overall dimensions. To preserve the shape (proportions) of individual elements of the sign (circles, crosses, squares), a corresponding property has been added. The property is assigned in the element table of the vector sign editing dialog. The dialog for editing a vector sign has been improved. To increase the convenience of creating and editing a vector sign, a closer location of the editing toolbar and the table of sign elements has been provided, and work with table elements has been simplified. Faster application of linear and areal contours has been provided. Ability has been added to unload a background image (png, jpg, bmp), which allows you to apply vector contours by a raster sample. The raster sample is displayed with the selected degree of intensity and can be adjusted to a convenient size.

In the menu "View - Map image" the item "Draft with nodes and border" has been added. When it is turned on, the nodal points of objects and their overall borders are displayed. This allows you to more accurately customize the parameters of conventional object symbols.

There is implemented the possibility of a domain authentication on the GIS Server version 11 in a heterogeneous domain when the GIS Server is installed on a computer included in Active Directory running Linux OS. Previously, for an Active Directory domain, only one option for using domain authentication was possible - a user on a PC running Windows OS could be authorized by a GIS Server installed on the server also running Windows OS. Innovations allow domain users running on a PC running both Linux OS and Windows OS to be tested on a GIS Server version 11 running Linux OS included into Active Directory. Active Directory domain users can access spatial data on the GIS Server in accordance with their permissions specified by the GIS Server administrator. Permissions to access spatial data on the GIS Server can be assigned to both specific domain users and groups of domain users. In the latter case, when adding a user to a domain user group that has been assigned permissions on the GIS Server, the new user will automatically receive appropriate access to spatial data without changing the GIS Server settings.

In the "Highlight any area" mode, the ability has been added of sequential performing the operations of addition, intersection and cutting of lists of objects selected by area. When you start the "Highlight any area" mode, the option of addition of lists will be automatically enabled. It allows you to sequentially highlight a common list of objects by different areas on the map. If some objects need to be excluded from the selected ones, then you can select the "Cutting list" item in the menu by the right button and circle the corresponding objects. The "Cutting list" option can be immediately enabled if you press the CTRL + SHIFT combination when you click on the button of the main panel "Highlight any area". When you select the "List Intersection" item in the menu using the right button, you can leave from the previously selected objects only those that fall into the new circled area. The "List Intersection" option can be enabled immediately if the CTRL key is pressed when the mouse is pressed on the button of the main panel "Highlight any area".

The modes for raster location by 1 or 2 points have been improved. Ability has been added to select a raster point by taking coordinates from a map object. To do this, the "Take another point" and "Take another line" items are built into the context menu of the modes. Also, setting a new position of the specified raster point can be done using the context menu item "Input point coordinates from keyboard". Raster binding modes are called up using the context menu of the "Rasters" tab in the "Data list" (menu View - Rasters list) and "Map Legend" (Tools - Map Legend menu) dialogs, as well as the corresponding buttons in the "Work with raster" auxiliary panel of "Raster Editor" task.

The "Geodesy editor" task has been improved. For the modes "Create point objects from csv file", "Create linear objects from csv file" and "Create areal objects from csv file", elements have been added to display information about the field code of a point, which displays the value from the first line of data. Reading of several variants of lines is provided. One line can contain from three to five data fields, including: N - point name, XY - plan coordinates, H - height and C - point code. Recording the point code has been added into the semantics of the "Field survey point code" (code 235).

The task "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, import of information onto the map from the XML extract file according to the extract_about_property_under_construction scheme has been added. Based on the reading results, an unfinished construction object is put onto the map and its semantics are filled with values from the extract. In accordance with the requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated December 8, 2015 N 921 "On approval of the form and composition of land survey plan information, requirements for its preparation" (Registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on January 20, 2016 N 40651) paragraph 46, Description of the passage of part of the boundaries of the land plot in sections of the text part of the land survey plan is indicated if parts of the boundaries of the land plot coincide with the location of the external boundaries of natural objects and (or) objects of artificial origin, including linear objects, information about which is contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. To implement this requirement in the program, it is necessary to map linear objects corresponding to the segments of the metric of the land plot using the "Decorating a parcel with border lines" mode. For border sections that meet the requirements of clause 46, it is necessary to fill in the semantic value "Description of passing the border". In the "Land survey plan" mode, the program will automatically search for linear objects using the metrics of the land plot ("The formed parcel boundary is accurate", "The formed parcel boundary is not accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is not accurate"). If a plot boundary is found and it has a semantic value of 1032 "Description of passing the border", the corresponding value is inserted into the report. If semantics is not filled, a dash is inserted into the report. If there are no "Border of a plot" objects or the search flag is not set, then the value from the settings of the "Cadastral documents" task is inserted into the report. For the functioning of the described algorithm, it is necessary to use the new version of the classifier survey.v6.rscz.

In the database of cadastral works, data loading by points of the geodetic network from a CSV file has been implemented. This function ensures the transfer of information about points from the catalog of coordinates in csv format into the cadastral database. A table of customer representatives has been added in the structure of the cadastral works database. Into the customer's editing form the corresponding field (except physical persons) and email address field have been added. A form for editing information about the customer's representative has been added. In the "Map (plan) of a land management object" mode, a reading from the cadastral works database of information on the customer's representative, including details of the power of attorney, has been added.

In the "Land survey plan" mode, the "Kind of file for directory" column has been added into the "Attached files" table on the "Applications" page. In the "Land survey plan" dialog on the "Cadastral Engineer" and "Customer of cadastral works" pages, data verification for extraneous information has been added in the input fields. When forming an XML document of a land survey plan, in the absence at the specified object in the new nodes of the corresponding point objects - the formed points, information about the coordinates was not formed.

For the "Technical plan of the parking space" mode, the ability of starting for objects selected on the map has been added. This ensures the operation of dividing one parking space into two or more, with the formation method "Other". In the "Registry error correction" mode, a check has been added to ensure that an empty PointPref element is not written. Search for point objects in metric point nodes has been corrected. On the corrected boundary of the plot, in the absence of the "old" point, only new coordinates are recorded.

In the "Editing the semantics of object of cadastral work" dialog, the technology for storing information about the types of address elements - geonyms - has been improved. To support simultaneous data input in text form and with selection from the directory, two different elements are used. Two different semantics are used to store data. For the mode functioning, it is necessary to use the updated classifier classifier survey.v6 or survey.v5.

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

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Sudan, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. 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). 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".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on creation of clusters with using the "Classifier Editor" task. The considered task is available to users in the GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist" and other software products of KB "Panorama".

If the map is very overloaded, you can combine signs of similar meaning into groups and, if the conditions are met, instead of several signs, display one - a generalizing one. An automatic clustering algorithm is implemented to display densely spaced point characters.

The video tutorial provides an example of creating a "Cluster" for closely spaced conventional symbols on a map. When creating a "Cluster", you should enter the necessary parameters for correct display on the map, create the external view of the cluster, and you can create your own generalizing conventional symbol. Next, you need to add conventional symbols into the formed cluster. Maps with clusters customized in the classifier are automatically supported in all desktop and web applications, as well as in applications developed in the GIS ToolKit and GIS Constructor.

You can view the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.
