KB "Panorama" has developed a toolkit for creating GIS applications - GIS ToolKit version 15.1.4. In the new version, the geoportal connection component (TMapWMSPopupDialog) has been improved. For the National Spatial Data System geoportal, the composition of displayed layers has been expanded in the following sections: Base layer; Cadastral division units; Administrative boundaries; Land plots; Capital construction objects; Object complexes; Zones with special conditions for territory use; Zoning and territory planning; Natural territories and others.

The toolkit is designed for developing client-server and desktop 32-bit and 64-bit applications that require processing and visualization of spatial data. GIS ToolKit classes and components are intended for use in the Embarcadero RAD Studio XE5 and higher development environment (Delphi and C++ Builder) and are supplied with source codes. The components can be compared to "semi-finished products," using which you can quickly and easily develop your own geoinformation application. At the same time, the GIS core of the GIS ToolKit can be used not only in the Embarcadero environment but also in any development environment with any compiler that supports function calls of the WINAPI standard.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.4.3. The program has expanded the list of connectable geoportals with PBF format support and ensured compatibility with new versions of the Python interpreter. Map editing tools and dynamic object characteristic labeling have been enhanced, and the panchromatic raster fusion task has been improved. In the "Cadastral Tasks" complex, tools for working with the address database have been improved.

The geoportal connection task has been refined. Support for user authorization through the Keycloak identification broker has been added. This allows implementing single sign-on technology for connecting to geoportals and services. The ability to connect to various geoportals that transmit data in PBF (Protocolbuffer Binary Format) has been added. PBF is a compressed binary format created for storing and transmitting cartographic data. Support for connecting to layers of new geoportals has been added: ESRI - Sentinel-2, Agriculture, Infrared, Short-wave Infrared, Geology, Bathymetric; NDVI Color Map, Normalized Burn Index, Accumulation Index, Colored NDVI, Custom SAVI; NDWI Raw, NDVI Raw; System for Providing Operational Information to the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia (SOOI Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia) - Base Map; Thermal points in specially protected natural areas, Thermal points Russia 24 hours, Boundaries of specially protected natural areas of federal significance (OGRN_2024), Fire hazard, Vessels in specially protected natural areas; Federal Forestry Agency - State of the Forest Fund, Portal of information from GISOGD of the Chelyabinsk region - Base Map, Geoinformation subsystem of FGIS TP.

Support for various versions of Python interpreters has been added for writing scripts executed from the "Launch Applications" dialog in the "Scripts" tab or through assigned buttons on user panels. If several versions of Python are installed on the computer, the active version can be selected through the main menu "Parameters - Data Location" in the "Path to Python interpreter" field. A script "Editing the coordinate list in tabular form" has been added to the basic script set to demonstrate writing scripts that call standard GIS dialogs.

The "Map Editor" task has been improved. In the "Create point object" mode, the ability to create a multi-point object has been added. When the spacebar is pressed, the next point is recorded in the object, and when the left mouse button is clicked, the formed multi-point object is saved.

The dynamic object labeling mode has been improved. This mode allows placing labels over the map considering the current map display composition and object visibility. When scrolling the map image, the label automatically shifts so that its text fits entirely within the client window area. The algorithms for finding free space in the display area when labeling linear objects have been improved. Support for applying dynamic labels considering label alignment attributes has been added. Label alignment attributes (by top, center, or bottom line) can be set when configuring label style parameters in the "Label Parameters" dialog.

When selecting the "Automatically place above or below the line" checkbox and there is no free space for a label placed above the line by default, an attempt is made to place it below the line. Conversely, for a label placed below the line, an attempt is made to place it above the line. When entering the parameter "Line length for label wrapping," a label consisting of multiple words is wrapped. The recommended average line length is 12 characters. Wrapping is performed without splitting words. Therefore, when entering a length equal to one character, a multi-line label will consist of lines with one word each. When entering zero length, label wrapping is not performed. Entering minimum and maximum distances between repeating labels of a linear contour improves label placement on contours of great length.

The item "Printer raster simplified" has been added to the main menu "View - Map View". In this mode, the map is displayed on the screen faster by disabling precise calculation of label sizes, simplifying hatching and other elements that take a lot of time for quality printing.

The "Panchromatic Raster Fusion" task has been improved. This dialog allows selecting RSW or TIFF files as source rasters. Processing of TIFF images together with a rational polynomial coefficient file RPC (*.rpb) has been added. The "Panchromatic Raster Fusion" task allows increasing the spatial resolution of a color raster using a higher resolution panchromatic raster. Execution conditions: both rasters must have the same coordinate system and be positioned with overlap. One of three methods is used to calculate the brightness of output raster pixels: channel averaging, conversion to IHS color space (Intensity-Hue-Saturation transformation), or Brovey Transform (BT).

In the "Cadastral Tasks" complex, the address database used when filling in the structured address of a cadastral object in the "Cadastral Object Attributes" mode has been updated. The address database is filled with current information from the state address register (GAR). The "Cadastral Object Attributes" mode has been improved to account for encoding differences of new regions of the Russian Federation in GAR and in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN). An intelligent algorithm has been developed for filling in the semantics of map objects (encoding according to the dRegionsRF EGRN reference book) and information from the address database in the FIAS structure (encoding according to the GAR reference book). The updated semantics recording functions provide region matching across several positions, including the full and short name of the region in the semantics "Region, republic (list)." In the "Cadastral Object Attributes" dialog, a variable call to the dialog for selecting a structured address has been implemented. Address databases in FIAS and KLADR structures are supported. For selecting an address in the KLADR structure, a new "KLADR Address" dialog has been developed. Configuration for the address database of the required structure (FIAS or KLADR) is performed by specifying the corresponding parameters in the program configuration file.

The "Reading KPT and Map Update" mode has been improved, implementing the reading of electronic xml-documents according to the extract_about_property_room_v01 schema - an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate about a real estate object (room) in electronic form. Since information about rooms does not contain coordinate descriptions, an algorithm has been developed to place them on the map as conditional real estate objects located in the center of the cadastral quarter. To obtain coordinates of the cadastral quarter, the program interacts with the geoportal "National Spatial Data System." All room attributes are recorded in the semantics of the map object.

The "Territory Map-Plan" mode has been improved. When forming an XML document, the algorithm for creating the optional Address node has been changed. The program analyzes whether the map object has filled semantics for the Subject of the Russian Federation (which is used to fill the mandatory Region element), and only in this case creates the Address node. When generating a text report, the order of recording objects in the report has been corrected, taking into account the cadastral number, and explanations for land plots and capital construction objects have been added. In the mode dialog, graphic elements - icons in key nodes of the data tree have been added.

The "Land Survey Plan" mode has been improved. When forming an XML document for the Address subsection, the recording of the optional RussianFederation element has been added. The "Cadastral Works Database" mode has been improved. A check for the existence of the ID of an official of a state authority has been added; otherwise, the record is not added to the database.

In the "Geodetic Editor" task, a new dialog "Import Data from CSV, TXT, XYH" has been developed, providing reading of text files with delimiters and placing information on the map. When calling the "Sign Segment Length" dialog, the coordinates of the current point on the map are transmitted to determine the nearest side of the object. When constructing a cutting line in the "Parallel Constructions" dialog, the selection of a point on the perpendicular to the left or right of the selected segment has been implemented, taking into account the digitization direction.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Input airspaces to database" mode of the "Aeronautical Information Documents Preparation" application in GIS "Panorama".

The airspace elements database is a functionally integrated database of air traffic service areas and flight restriction zones. Air traffic control can be carried out in zones of any type, including prohibited and dangerous areas.

The video tutorial demonstrates the maintenance of the database of air traffic service areas and flight restriction zones, which is carried out through an input form. This form is divided into two parts. The left part of the form contains a non-editable list of airspace elements with a filter at the top. To add a new element to the database, use the corresponding button on the panel. The right part of the form, where data entry is performed, includes several panels - "Parameters", "Name" and "Metrics". According to the database specification, airspace elements can have one of three types of metrics: complex polyline, circle of specified radius, and corridor. Most air traffic control areas have complex polyline metrics, while dangerous and prohibited zones are described by circles. In addition to the main types of metrics, elliptical metrics are used in the Russian Federation.

At the bottom of the form is the "Call Signs and Frequencies of ATS Bodies" section, which contains information about control bodies, control frequencies, and call signs of ground services and dispatch control and communication services. You can view the training materials in the "Video Lessons" section.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Input airspaces to database" mode of the "Aeronautical Information Documents Preparation" application in GIS "Panorama". This mode facilitates the entry of basic characteristics of interconnected service structures or facilities, building and structure engineering systems, ground service and support systems, which collectively provide the foundation for airport operations. Airport infrastructure includes ground handling systems, navigation, communication, and geospatial structure.

The video tutorial demonstrates the maintenance of the aerodrome infrastructure database, which is carried out through a corresponding form. The airport infrastructure data entry interface consists of several sections placed in separate tabs. Tabs may contain their own information hierarchy.

The "Services" section is designed for maintaining the database of aerodrome ground services, including general services, passenger services, fuel refueling, oil refueling, and meteorological services. The "RWY" tab interface is used to account for aerodrome runways. The "TWY" tab allows maintaining the taxiway database. The "Apron and Parking Management (Parking)" section covers databases of aprons, holding areas, aircraft parking positions, repair areas, long-term operation areas, and storage areas. The "Heliport Database Management" tab interface is filled in accordance with the "Requirements for Landing Sites Located on Land or Water Areas." The "Taxi Route Database Management" section is designed for maintaining the database of ground aerodrome aircraft movement routes. The "Aerodrome Territory Boundaries Database Management" tab is used for maintaining the database of aerodrome paved surface boundaries, configuration of boundaries of its main elements, and special territories for more accurate interpretation of objects on the aerodrome/heliport map.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.13 for the domestic mobile OS Aurora. The new version implements tools for editing object attributes and expanded search by characteristics. A "Selected Object" panel has been added, simplifying work with calculations and data changes.

The program provides convenient tools for editing cartographic data. The new version expands the capabilities for working with object semantics: users can add new characteristics, modify existing data, and delete outdated information. All changes are promptly entered and saved in the system, and the built-in undo mechanism protects against accidental errors, providing complete control at all stages of work. The simple and intuitive interface makes interaction with maps comfortable even when solving complex tasks.

In GIS "Panorama Mobile," object search has become more flexible, with the system supporting various comparison conditions ("greater than," "less than," "equal to," "present," and others). For example, you can quickly find all objects with a height of more than 100 meters. Search results are displayed both on the map and in a separate panel, which accelerates data analysis.

The program has added a "Selected Object" panel. It automatically displays the active object, highlights its outline on the map, and provides a brief description. This tool is especially useful when performing calculations or editing - the system immediately displays the results of operations, and the built-in verification mechanisms help minimize errors.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows opening and editing the main digital map formats of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on Aurora OS, processing information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. Users can prepare the necessary set of spatial data in advance in one of the desktop products (GIS "Panorama," "Panorama-Editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and transfer it to the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile." Data processing is performed autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, their current position is dynamically displayed according to coordinates received from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For convenience, there is an option to synchronize the map position with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, there is a track recording mode that creates a separate map and plots the movement trajectory on it. Basic information is provided for all map objects during operation.

The program is developed based on the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using Qt.

Aurora OS is a Russian mobile operating system developed by "Open Mobile Platform" company. The operating system is designed to build trusted mobile infrastructure, protect sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium-sized commercial companies. It contributes to ensuring the technological sovereignty of the state through a secure mobile environment and meets all the requirements of regulators in the field of national security and information protection.
