From March 25 to 27, a practical session of the professional development course "Comprehensive Cadastral Works" was held in Krasnodar. The event was attended by 60 specialists from the Southern Federal District, North Caucasus Federal District, Crimea, Sevastopol, DPR, and LPR. The regional "Roskadastr" director Ivan Sulim and Deputy Head of Rosreestr Administration for Krasnodar Region Dmitry Chernovrovenko delivered welcome speeches. The Deputy General Director of PPK "Roskadastr" Konstantin Litvintsev addressed the session participants via video link.

On the first day, "ABUKO" Association expert Almaz Gabidullin shared his experience on the general procedure for conducting comprehensive cadastral works in the regions. On the second and third days, seminar participants practiced their knowledge: engineers from PPK "Roskadastr" branches were trained in "Panorama" software in computer classrooms. Issues of interaction with the Unified State Register of Real Estate through GIS "Panorama" were examined in detail, including object search, obtaining attribute information, and generating reporting documents in accordance with current standards. Specialists mastered practical techniques for working with cadastral maps, including geographic referencing of materials, digitizing objects, filling in attribute data, and preparing documentation.

The central office of PPK "Roskadastr" regularly conducts similar training events in all federal districts of Russia. Comprehensive cadastral works are cadastral activities carried out simultaneously for all real estate objects located within one cadastral quarter or several adjacent cadastral quarters. These works are an important measure directly affecting the achievement of the national development goal of the Russian Federation within the framework of the state program "National Spatial Data System."

KB "Panorama" specialists have prepared a video tutorial on using the "Input significant points to database" mode of the "Assignment of the program" application in GIS "Panorama". The reviewed mode is designed for entering data of conditional and real points.

The real points database contains information about radio navigation aids. Basic points are used in route maps as route points; serve as basic radio navigation aids for navigation; function as aerodrome radio technical facilities for calculating turn points, and are also used as descent points and for determining metric parameters of maneuvers when performing approaches, departures, and landings.

The video tutorial demonstrates the management of the basic points database, performed through an input form. Different sets of characteristics are provided for different types of points. Radio navigation aids require additional characteristics to be specified. Combined facilities include characteristics of both types of radio technical means.

At the bottom of the "Basic Points Input" form, there is a non-editable table "Passing Routes". It contains information about routes, including approaches, departures, landings, and holdings where the current point appears. The table is designed for analyzing and removing unused points. Additionally, a "Close Point by Date" button has been added to the dialog, allowing users to automatically set the end date for a point.

You can access the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.

KB "Panorama" has developed the "Agronomist Workstation" software complex version 15.4.2. The new version increases the efficiency of working with cartographic data and improves analytical tools. A number of innovations have been implemented that make the process of creating and editing maps more convenient and accurate.

The program supports expanded access to information from the "National Spatial Data System" (NSDS) geoportal. Users can receive up-to-date data on the date when objects were registered, their cadastral numbers, status, land category, and the value of plots or buildings. For convenience, the layers "Land plots (labels)" and "Buildings (labels)" have been added, allowing users to quickly find necessary information directly on the map.

Special attention has been paid to improving search capabilities. A new search dialog has been developed that supports address search on OpenStreetMap, search by cadastral number, and cross-search in NSDS and other geoportals. Search results are displayed not only in tables but are also visualized on the map, which significantly simplifies working with large volumes of data.

For land management specialists, an expanded set of tools for processing object lists has been added, including operations for cutting and splitting complex objects from multiple cartographic sources. This is especially useful when creating detailed maps of farm infrastructure, land management, and agricultural lands.

Additionally, the algorithm for displaying labels on maps has been updated. Labels now take into account the rotation angle of the sign, ensuring more accurate and aesthetically pleasing placement of text information. For user convenience, the ability to copy point coordinates with a single click or key combination has also been added.

These changes make the "Agronomist Workstation" an even more flexible tool and help improve the quality of decisions made by specialists working in the field of land management and agronomy. The new version of the program is available in the Download section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.3.6 for "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS, "Alt Linux" OS, "RED OS" and Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04). The new version implements quality control modes for vector maps and absolute heights. Search capabilities have been expanded, including search by geoportals, addresses, and points on objects. Tools for loading coordinates from text formats have been added.

The "Vector Map Quality Control" task has been enhanced with the ability to control metric, topological, and semantic data. The task operates in two modes: data control (verification only) and data editing (saving corrections to map files). Basic checks include structural control (mandatory for all objects), sheet metadata control, and other customizable types. Users can flexibly manage control schemes through temporary settings files, saving or restoring standard parameters. Results are displayed in a protocol with the ability to view errors in the map editor and generate HTML reports. For convenience, object filters and options to interrupt verification when exceeding a specified number of errors are available. During operation, control schemes prepared in GIS "Panorama" for MS Windows can be used.

The "Absolute Heights Control" dialog is designed to verify vector map objects containing terrain elevation and hydrographic depth data, including checking the consistency of objects within closed contour lines. The system uses control schemes adapted for map classifiers of different scales, which are saved in an XML file with configuration options through a dialog. Users can specify the composition of objects to be checked, as well as elements that interrupt the height sequence (such as rivers or ravines). Control results are generated as a protocol with information about height discrepancies, digitization direction, and other parameters. The mode supports verification of contour lines, isobaths, and the presence of height marks, ensuring accuracy and correctness of spatial data.

The "Search Objects by Address" mode is designed for finding objects and intersections by address characteristics, such as street name, house number, building, or block. For intersection searches, semantics from the classifier containing street names are used, and searches can be performed based on either partial or exact name matches. Results are displayed in a table where you can select an object or intersection to navigate to it on the map. During the search process, intersections are displayed as conventional symbols on a separate map that is automatically created or added to the document. For additional information about an object, the "Show Object Information" mode is available. When search parameters are changed, the object selection updates automatically.

The "Search by Geoportal" mode allows address searches on various geoportals, including OpenStreetMap, the National Spatial Data System, as well as KB "Panorama" geoportals and others that support the OGC WFS standard. The mode provides search capabilities by cadastral number, address, and other parameters. The dialog box displays the geometry and semantics of found objects and highlights them on the map. To search for data, you need to select a geoportal, enter the information of interest in the search bar, and click the "Search" button. This mode simplifies working with geodata by providing a convenient tool for searching and visualizing objects.

The "Load Coordinates from Text File" mode is designed for importing data obtained from geodetic instruments from delimited text files (TXT, CSV, XYH, and others). Each line in the file corresponds to one spatial object, such as a picket point with coordinates (X, Y, H). The result of the program's operation is the creation of a map in SIT or SITX format. The dialog displays the source data (file path and its contents) and import settings. The user can specify the starting line for processing, choose a delimiter, set coordinate offsets (X, Y, H), and configure the composition of imported data by defining data types for each column (for example, X, Y, H, or semantics).

The "Find Point on Object Contour" task enables processing of linear and areal objects. After selecting an object in the dialog box, you need to specify the search distance. As a result of this mode, the section from the beginning of the object to the found point is highlighted on the map, allowing visual determination of the location of the desired point.

GIS "Panorama" is a universal domestic geographic information system. The program is designed for accumulation, storage, automated processing, and display of data, calculation results, and forecasts with geospatial reference. GIS "Panorama" contains tools for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks of modeling the movement of special objects against a 3D model background, forecasting the consequences of emergencies at hazardous facilities, monitoring aircraft movement, conducting geodetic and topographic work, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing displayed spatial data to various output devices, and many others.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" conducted a training seminar for employees of PPK "Roscadastre", aimed at improving qualifications in the field of comprehensive cadastral works (CCW). The event took place from March 19 to 20, 2025, in St. Petersburg with organizational support from the PPK "Roscadastre" branch in the Leningrad Region.

Seminar participants gained knowledge on the application of modern geoinformation technologies and photogrammetric methods in cadastral activities. Special attention was paid to working with aerial photography data obtained by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), which are actively used in comprehensive cadastral works across 17,500 cadastral quarters in 87 regions of Russia. Specialists mastered practical techniques for working with cadastral maps, including geographic referencing of materials, digitization of objects, filling attribute data, and documentation preparation. Issues of interaction with the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN) through the GIS "Panorama" were discussed in detail, including object search, obtaining attribute information, and generating reporting documents in accordance with current standards.

The training presented KB "Panorama's" advanced solutions for automating cadastral activities: the "Panorama Photo" software package for UAS data processing, the "PanoramaVision" system with automatic object recognition functions, and integration capabilities with the National Spatial Data System. To ensure a unified approach to creating and editing cadastral objects, the use of the digital classifier survey.v6, containing a specialized layer "Cadastral Territory Plan," was recommended. Additionally, seminar participants mastered procedures for generating electronic XML documents for submitting CCW results to the EGRN, taking into account regional specifics.

The training significantly improved the preparation level of "Roscadastre" specialists in the field of modern geoinformation technologies and their application in performing comprehensive cadastral works. The seminar curriculum can be viewed at the link.
