The 11th international IT conference "Stachka" has concluded in Ulyanovsk. At this conference, specialists from KB "Panorama" presented two reports in the "GIS" section. The first report on import substitution in the GIS field, presented by Denis Vitcko, shared our company's accumulated experience and useful advice on implementing tasks for transitioning to GIS independent of imports, in accordance with Federal Law No. 491-FZ dated 04.08.2023.

The second report on the application of neural networks in digital cartography sparked lively interest among conference participants. In his report, PhD in Engineering Petr Sotnikov shed light on all areas of integrating artificial intelligence into GIS: from choosing a neural network to programming the server-side of geoservices, utilizing GPU capabilities, and frontend development. These reports are available on our website: "GIS Import Substitution" and "Artificial Cartographer: Image Decryption Service based on Neural Networks".

All reports from the 11th international IT conference "Stachka" are now available for viewing on the official event website. To access the reports, one needs to purchase an offline attendee ticket.

On September 27-28, "Stachka" will take place in St. Petersburg (COSMOS Pribaltiyskaya). A special 10% discount promo code "для_друзей10" is valid for purchasing recordings of all reports and all ticket categories for the conference in St. Petersburg. You can follow "Stachka" on social media platforms such as VKontakte and Telegram. KB "Panorama" looks forward to seeing you at the "Stachka" conference in St. Petersburg!

In the KB "Panorama," the "Workstation of the urban-planner" version 15.2.3 has been developed. The new version introduces the "Spatial Objects of the Urban Planning Information System" mode, expands the list of directories and classifiers of the information system, and implements a mechanism for synchronizing the attributes of spatial data sets with the semantics of the digital map classifier.

The registry "Spatial Objects of the Urban Planning Information System" is designed to maintain thematic sets of spatial data used in recording information in the urban planning activity support information system. The data sets include information on classes of spatial objects in vector model in relation to associated documents and attribute data. The structure of thematic data sets and the composition of used directories are implemented in accordance with the technical requirements for maintaining registers of state information systems supporting urban planning activities, as per the order of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation dated August 6, 2020, No. 433/pr.

Developed according to the order, the urban.v2.rsc classifier enables the creation of a multi-layer digital map and its application in preparing documents for urban planning zoning, territorial planning documents, creating consolidated plans of surface and underground communications and structures. The classifier systematizes code designations of capital construction objects, engineering infrastructure networks, electrical networks, communication networks, elements of layout structure, zones with special land use conditions, and lists features characterizing the properties of these objects. Each thematic data set contains its immutable set of attributes. Unified directories and classifiers of the information system supporting urban planning activities are used to systematize attributes. Object class attributes are synchronized with the semantics of the urban.v2.rsc classifier. To establish spatial-logical connections between documents recorded in the Urban Planning Information System and information with spatial map objects, an attribute "Spatial Data Class" has been added. This is a systematized group of data indicating belonging to a thematic data set. The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" in collaboration with students from MIIGAiK have prepared a video lesson on working with the "Group of modes Point" and "Topology subpanel" modes. The educational material showcases the capabilities of point and object editing tools, as well as moving, deleting, and aligning objects. These modes are accessed from the "Map Editor" task panel and are available to users of GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini, and other software products.

The video tutorial demonstrates methods of changing an object by editing its points: adding or removing points on an object; capturing a node or any point on a straight object; changing the direction from the starting point of the object to the endpoint, and other actions. It also illustrates ways to create copies of object sections, create intersection points, and align multiple objects. To access the educational materials, visit the "Video lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Benin, 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".
