KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.4.1. The new version expands queries from the National Spatial Data System geoportal for various types of cadastral data and implements address searching with partial matching of street names and house numbers. The system automates polygon construction along adjacent object boundaries and label placement within extended polygons during map design or import from exchange formats. The mathematical basis for aeronautical charts has been improved according to ICAO requirements, user rights settings for map editing with GIS Server have been expanded, and cadastral and geodetic task complexes have been updated.

The geoportal connection feature has been enhanced to obtain information about terrain objects at specified points using the WMS protocol. From the National Spatial Data System geoportal, users can query object registration dates, cadastral numbers, status, land categories, plot or building values, and other parameters. For geoportals supporting point information queries when displaying tiles, data is shown in the Object Selection dialog: object metrics, semantic characteristics, and object metadata. Object information can be copied to exchange formats. For the National Spatial Data System geoportal, display layers for Land Plots (labels) and Buildings (labels) have been added, along with response node and classifier data correspondence files to ensure semantic matching. A new geoportal information search dialog has been added. The dialog enables address searches on OpenStreetMap geoportal, cadastral number searches on the National Spatial Data System geoportal, and cross-portal searches on KB Panorama geoportals or geoportals supporting the OGC WFS standard. The dialog displays object geometry, object semantics, and highlights them on the map.

The "Address Search" dialog has improved object or intersection searches through partial matching of street names and house numbers. Search results generate a table of found objects or intersections. Selecting a record in the table navigates to the object on the map. An object information viewing mode has been added. When search parameters are modified, object filtering is automatically performed according to the new conditions.

In the "Map Editor" task on the "Cutting and Stitching" panel, the "Create polygon along surrounding contour boundaries" mode has been updated. This mode enables creation of a multipolygon formed by boundaries of adjacent polygon contours and closed linear objects within a specified closed contour or selected object. Pressing "Ctrl" and left mouse button over an area or closed linear object will construct the multipolygon based on a base contour where the specified point is internal. If the specified point is inside multiple contours, an intersection of all such contours will be built. Contours where the point is outside will clip intersection areas from the base contour to create a contour around the point based on adjacent boundaries. Pressing "Ctrl" and left mouse button over an empty area will select a rectangular contour sized at 3/4 of the current map window centered on the selected point as the base contour. If multiple empty map sections fall within the specified area, only one object encompassing the selected point will be created. The "Length and Distance" mode now displays distance values from object start and allows saving measurements to the map as objects.

A "Copy point coordinates" option has been added to the right-click menu. Selecting this menu item or pressing "Ctrl+Alt+C" copies the current map point coordinates to the clipboard as space-separated numbers. Units and coordinate values match those set in the coordinate display line. Degrees and radians are written as decimal numbers with fractional parts.

In the "Map Calculations" task, the "Find point on object" mode has been enhanced. Added ability to find a single point or section between two points specified by distances from object start with section display parameter settings.

The "Automatic Label Placement" application has been improved. This task creates labels based on object semantics for linear, point and area objects. Implementation includes labeling of extended area objects (zones along rivers, canals and strip-shaped area objects). This labeling mode is activated by checking "As linear object along centerline" in the "Parameters" tab. The new algorithm automatically determines the centerline construction method for labeling. The centerline is formed along arbitrary-shaped contours (rivers, canals) or along background label strips loaded from exchange formats (SHP, MIF/MID). The "Automatic Label Placement" task can be run as a standalone task, as part of a map processing scenario, or a map loading scenario from exchange formats. In the latter case, the labeling task call is included in fromshp and frommif files.

When displaying labels with service semantics "Sign rotation angle (in degrees)" with code 31017, the label is oriented according to the value specified in the semantics. When rotated, the label is aligned to the center and middle line relative to the metric point.

The "Formation of Mathematical Basis for Aeronautical Charts" application has been enhanced. The mathematical basis formatting has been aligned with ICAO guidance documents. Added separate configuration of intervals between parallels and meridians, frequency and sizes of main, additional, and auxiliary marks. Fixed orientation of marks for western and southern hemispheres.

In the "Classifier Editor" task, the keyword "H1" has been added for semantics of "Numerical Formula" type for use in calculations or automated formation of label texts for the height value of the first object point.

The list of user restrictions for data management opened with GIS Server has been expanded: restrictions can be set on copying (export to other formats, transfer of objects to other maps), printing, viewing coordinate system parameters, editing coordinates, storing copies of edited objects, access to client cache without GIS Server registration, editing digital RSC classifier and others. Restrictions are set by the program administrator through the web interface and saved in GIS Server settings. The prohibition on editing coordinates allows changing only attributive data of map objects (semantics) without changing coordinates or coordinate system parameters in the map passport (metadata).

In the "Cadastral Tasks" complex, the "Information from the State Real Estate Cadastre" mode has been improved. Implemented sending requests to the "National Spatial Data System" service instead of the "Public Cadastral Map" service. Supports receiving information about the following types of cadastral objects: land plots, buildings, structures, construction in progress, zones with special conditions for territory use, boundaries of municipalities and settlements, boundaries of water bodies. Information received by request is displayed in the "Cadastral Object Attributes" dialog. Supports repeated selection of a point on the map for requesting cadastral information without closing the dialog.

The "Reading KPT and Map Update" mode has been enhanced. When processing cadastral object attributes, the order of writing attributes with "code from classifier" type to semantics has been changed. Before saving the attribute value, the value code is searched for or, if the code is not found, the value name. If the reference book doesn't contain the searched value, the attribute value will be saved in reserve semantics as a text value. The attribute "cadastral number of other real estate objects within which the real estate object is located" is written to KADNUM_L instead of KN_LAND semantics.

In the "Territory Map-Plan" mode, the ability to select a scheme for XML document formation has been implemented. Supports formation of electronic document according to MapPlanTerritory_v01.xsd and MapPlanTerritory_v02.xsd schemes. This ensures the execution of complex cadastral works in all subjects of the Russian Federation.

In the "Geodetic Editor" task, the "Search by Cadastral Number or Address" dialog has been improved. When selecting the "EGRN information" search source, requests are now sent to the "National Spatial Data System" service instead of the "Public Cadastral Map" service. In addition to searching by cadastral number in EGRN, address search in EGRN has been added. Based on search results, the map moves to the found point and displays attributes of the found cadastral object in the standard map object description dialog.

For the "Create Scheme and Fill Report" and "Fill Report for Object" modes, the procedure for inserting area information into the report has been enhanced. Processing of the new marker "#AREADOCMAP0#" has been added, enabling the insertion of cadastral object area value into the report, either selected from AREADOC semantics or calculated in the map projection. The area value is inserted with rounding to whole meters.

The "Report Settings" dialog has been improved, with refined composition of elements (fields) for controlling the content of the generated scheme, removal of obsolete elements, and updated set of templates for created reports in the dropdown list.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on using the "Build a hexagonal grid" tool in GIS "Panorama". When creating a thematic map, the selected map fragment is covered with a network of equal-area hexagonal cells containing objects of interest. Each grid cell is populated with information about surrounding objects, positive and negative impact factors, and the degree of factor influence (from 0 to 100 percent). The map construction takes into account the presence of objects of interest and environmental impact factors, as well as the distance between objects of interest and environmental objects.

The monitoring.rscz classifier is used to create the thematic map, which must be prepared in advance for correct hexagonal grid construction. Semantic characteristics with codes for recording impact factors have been added to the classifier, along with a series of objects for automatic coloring of hexagonal grid objects. The "Hexagonal Grid Map Construction" dialog mode allows input and editing of hexagonal grid construction parameters.

To view the attribute data of the generated impact factor cells, use the "Display statistics for the hexagonal grid" mode. It presents data lists including: objects of interest within the cell, surrounding impact objects, and their influence factors.

The training materials can be accessed in the "Video Lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam, 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".

KB "Panorama" has developed Digital Map and Remote Sensing Data Bank version 9.0.0. The new version adds the capability to send messages via Telegram messenger. Administrators of distributed spatial data storage systems can promptly respond to system events. Notifications for critical errors, warnings, and diagnostic messages are supported. The message type can be configured in the complex administrator. Email notification support is also included.

The list of supported data types (formats) for loading has been updated. When loading data, operators are shown a description of the selected loading type, which specifies the required structure and composition of input data. Automatic filling of the "Presence of scanned document image" field has been added for analog geodetic materials and documents. Loading and updating of data with an arbitrary number of fields from CSV files has been optimized.

The system now displays a list of files included in datasets for maps, rasters, and matrices. Templates for State Geodetic Network and State Survey Network point statements have been updated.

Data security is ensured through access rights management based on security features integrated into the operating system. Regular authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (via web server), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory) are supported. Additional security is provided through end-to-end authentication when working with the database. Database connections are established with the privileges of the system user. 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 domestic software registry under number 1862.

The Digital Map and Remote Sensing Data Bank serves as the foundation for building spatial data infrastructure at federal, regional, and municipal levels, as well as in corporate information systems. Within a unified geoinformation space, the Digital Map and Remote Sensing Data Bank implements the collection, storage, quality control, search, and delivery of spatial data in exchange formats. Spatial data selected through the program can be deployed for multi-user access on the GIS Server and published according to international OGC standards (WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS) on the GIS WebService SE application server. Users can access data both through a thin client (using GIS WebServer SE) and desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). The Digital Map and Remote Sensing Data Bank enables the construction of a cloud storage for spatial data, provides access to this data, and supports automated generation and updating of geo-coverages.

The current state of spatial data is displayed using schematic maps, which are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The system provides remote placement of spatial datasets in file storage, version control of stored datasets, updating of data availability scheme maps, automated collection and formation of metadata, and formation and updating of geo-coverages. Automated collection and formation of metadata is performed according to ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information — Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information — Metadata — XML schema implementation standards. The system automatically generates reduced copies of data images, verifies file checksums, and checks the completeness of datasets.

Spatial data placement in file storage is carried out with integrity verification, data structure and content control. Operation results are logged and recorded in the metadata database. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage is provided with integrity control and data recovery. A multilingual interface is supported.

The "Spatial Data Bank" portal demonstrates capabilities for organizing storage, accounting, and distribution of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, created based on data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The spatial data includes maps of: Russian Federation subjects, countries, and cities from both near and far abroad. In total, there are over 400 vector maps and 6,700 matrix data sets with a total volume of more than 230 GB. KB "Panorama" specialists update and maintain the portal's information content weekly. All published data is distributed free of charge under an open license.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS WebService SE version 15.11.2. The new version implements a PHP microservices development interface. It allows creating services based on existing GIS WebService SE methods and operations and integrating them into applications. As examples, the documentation presents and describes exclusion zone detection and printing services. The advantage of microservices lies in their scalability, development flexibility, and stability.

The new version expands data import and export capabilities. Support has been added for the most common formats such as SVG, TIFF, CSV, DXF, SHP, MIF/MID, GeoJSON, GML, TXT, SIT, SITX, MAP, MPT, SXF, TXF, KML. Data republication from the "National Spatial Data System" geoportal has been implemented.

Linux family operating systems support has been improved. Support for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 has been added. Qt5 support has been implemented for all supported operating systems, including Astra Linux, both for information display and for writing custom service libraries. New queries have been implemented: calculating the shortest distance from a point to an object, determining point coordinates based on distance from the object's start.

The user interface has been improved. A service layer closing button has been added for manual data replacement without stopping the service. GIS Server administrator call tools have been implemented. Additionally, client-side log archiving is now available to reduce data transfer volume. A user interface has been developed for configuring layer accessibility, editing layers, search filters, and object display for each user. Restriction parameters (code, key, semantics, localization) can be set using SQL queries to the database.

GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS, WPS) used for spatial data transfer and display. The program implements the ability to serve tiles for any custom or local coordinate system. The application is developed for Windows and Linux platforms and is compatible with Apache, IIS, and nginx web servers.

The new program version and documentation are available on the website in the Download section.
