In KB "Panorama," the Imagery Service version 11.3.0 has been developed. The new version features an improved user interface responsible for project preparation and tile generation. A connection dialog and data selection on the GIS Server have been added. The service automatically connects to specified servers and provides a list of available data for tile cutting.

The new version includes a dialog for establishing connections to databases and for forming a dbm layer for tile cutting. The dialogs match data from database tables with objects on the map. Connection to the database is made through a configured dbm file (project) created in the service administrator. The DBM file contains the description of parameters of a digital vector map, which will display the dataset from the database (table, view, or SQL query result). Parameters include: a conditional map name; an RSC classifier file containing a library of conditional symbols; a coordinate system code (standard EPSG code or a custom code from the crslist.xml file); map scale at which conditional symbols are displayed in a unit scale (as specified in the classifier).

The service monitors changes in the database and rebuilds only those tiles where changes have occurred. The Imagery Service allows setting schedules for updates by day of the week and at specified hours. In the new version, a dialog has been added to select geoprotals for tile generation. The list of available geoprotals can be expanded by adding layers from the wmslist_ru.xml settings file.

The program enables tile generation in JPEG, PNG, PNG8, Mbtiles, BIR, and GeoPackage formats according to the international standard OGC WMTS 07-057r7 version 1.0.0, TMS standard, and OGC 12-128r15 GeoPackage version 1.2.1. Tiles generated by the Imagery Service are used by GIS WebServer SE and GIS WebService SE software products to provide high-speed spatial data display over extensive areas with simultaneous access by a large number of users. 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 Chad, 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".

The updated schema fgistp-10-izm-698.xsd is available on the website of the Federal State Information System for Territorial Planning. This schema clarifies the composition of attributes and directories in accordance with the provisions of the order issued by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on January 9, 2018, No. 10 (as amended by the Order No. 698 dated October 6, 2023). The changes made to the xsd schema eliminate errors that may have occurred previously during the preparation and verification of data to comply with the requirhttps://fgistp.economy.gov.ru/panorama/schemas/xsddownload/fgistp-10-izm-698.xsdements of Order No. 698.

KB "Panorama" has released an updated lineup of GIS "Panorama" version 15.2.3. In the new versions of the software, Professional GIS "Panorama", Professional Vectorizer "Panorama Editor", and "Workstation of the urban-planner" an updated xsd schema is included. This schema is used for generating XML documents for territorial planning in the form of electronic files.

In the task "Export territorial planned data in GML" in the "Control by scheme" mode, fewer errors are displayed when checking attribute values, their completeness, and the sequence of filling in the created GML files according to the updated xsd schema. Automatic correction of fractional numeric parameter values has been added. If the schema specifies a requirement for integer values for certain types of objects, automatic rounding is performed. For values between 0 and 1, rounding is done to 1 (for example, a population number in thousands: 0.3 will be rounded to 1).

The updated versions of the programs are available for download in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama", a Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data version 8.6.0 has been developed. The new version introduces a correlation between digital and analog geodetic materials and regulatory documents. When the metadata of analog documents matches the metadata of digital ones, it becomes possible to download the digital version of the analog document. This correlation is established automatically when the digital document is uploaded to the repository.

The program provides spatial data search based on the nomenclature of topographic maps. By enabling the display of nomenclature sheets on the map, users can select all datasets that fall within the specified nomenclature. A more user-friendly data loading process has been implemented. In the loading dialog, data groups are automatically selected based on the current loading mode.

The functionality to work with online documentation in the absence of a local copy has been added. The most up-to-date version of the document is always opened. The ability to specify multiple coordinate systems and heights for each document in a group of analog geodetic materials has been implemented. The boundaries of Russian Federation subjects on the address map and point settlements have been updated.

Enhancements have been made to the control of input parameters when configuring data groups. The list of diagnostic messages and error messages has been expanded. All errors are logged in a journal, and for easier access, a new error log file is created every day.

Data security is ensured through access rights differentiation based on security features provided by the operating system. Regular authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (using web server tools), and domain authentication (Kerberos or Active Directory) are supported. Additional security is provided through integrated authentication when working with the database. Connection to the database is made with the privileges of the user operating the system. The software 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 registry of domestic software under number 1862.

The database of digital maps and remote sensing data serves as the foundation for building the infrastructure of spatial data at the federal, regional, and municipal levels, as well as in corporate information systems. Within the unified geoinformation space, the database enables the collection, storage, quality control, search, and retrieval of spatial data in exchange formats. Spatial data selected through the program can be shared for multi-user access on the GIS Server and published according to international standards such as OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on the GIS WebService SE application server. Users can access the data from both thin clients (using GIS WebServer SE) and desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator").

The database facilitates the construction of a cloud storage for spatial data, providing access to this data, and automating the generation and updating of geocoverages. The current state of spatial data is displayed using map schemas maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models.

Remote placement of spatial data sets in a file storage, versioning of stored sets, updating of map schemas indicating data availability, automated collection and generation of metadata, and formation and updating of geocoverages are ensured. Automated collection and generation of metadata are performed according to ISO 19115:2003 standards (Geographic Information - Metadata) and ISO/TS 19139 (Geographic Information - Metadata - XML schema implementation). Reduced copies of data images are automatically generated, file checksums are verified, and data set completeness is checked.

Placement of spatial data in a file storage is carried out with integrity checks, control of structure and content of the data. The results of operations are logged and recorded in the metadata database. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage with integrity control and data recovery is provided. Multilingual interface is supported.

The "Spatial Data Bank" portal demonstrates capabilities for organizing storage, accounting, and provision of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format based on data from open sources such as OpenStreetMap and VMap0. The spatial data includes maps of Russian Federation subjects, countries, cities both near and far abroad. In total, there are over 400 vector maps and 6700 matrix datasets with a total volume exceeding 80 GB. Specialists from KB "Panorama" update and maintain the information on the portal on a weekly basis. All published data is distributed free of charge under a free license.

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

The GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.6 for Android OS has been developed at KB "Panorama". The new version includes the ability to import files in SXF format. The import process is similar to the desktop version of the GIS "Panorama". The classifier can be selected from the set provided with the mobile application installation or can be provided by the user. The import is done into the internal storage for further use within the application. The data loading process runs independently of the main application process, allowing the user to continue working with the application while the import is being executed.

The required set of map data for a specific area of interest can be prepared in one of the desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-Editor", GIS Panorama Mini) using a wide range of applied tasks and then transferred to the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile".

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows opening major digital map formats of the GIS "Panorama" on Android-based mobile devices and processing information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare the necessary set of spatial data in advance, pack them into a ZIP archive using standard tools, and transfer them to the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The data processing is performed autonomously without an Internet connection. When the user moves, their current position is dynamically displayed based on coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. To enhance usability, there is an option to synchronize the map position with the current location. A track recording mode is available to save the obtained coordinates during movement, creating a separate map with the recorded trajectory. Essential information is provided for all map objects during the working process.

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