Representatives of KB "Panorama" participated in the seminar "Modern Mine Surveying and Geological Equipment and Software", held in Moscow from March 23 to 25, 2026. As part of the business program, the company's specialists presented a report on the application of geographic information systems in the oil and gas industry. The focus was on the capabilities of KB "Panorama" software products for comprehensive support of all stages of extracting enterprises' activities — from field exploration to infrastructure operation and environmental monitoring. The presented solutions demonstrate how a unified geographic information platform allows consolidating heterogeneous spatial data, forming a cohesive digital model of the enterprise and the surrounding environment.

Particular emphasis was placed on the practical value of using GIS "Panorama" for supporting drilling operations and managing hydrocarbon extraction and transportation facilities. The system's tools provide precise well positioning, geological condition analysis, engineering cross-section construction, and control over the spatial position of the wellbore. This significantly improves the quality of technical decisions and reduces production risks.

KB "Panorama" software products enable efficient accounting of infrastructure objects, including pipelines, pumping stations, and production sites, using integration with relational and spatial databases. Support for a wide range of formats and geoportals provides access to external data sources and expands analytical capabilities for enterprises, which is especially important when working with distributed assets and extended objects.

An important advantage of the solutions is the developed toolkit for terrain analysis and earthwork volume calculation, as well as for modeling emergency situations, including forecasting oil spill zones. These functions contribute to improving industrial and environmental safety, which is a critically important factor for the oil and gas industry.

Additionally, the system's capabilities in the field of environmental monitoring were demonstrated, allowing for comprehensive analysis of the state of the environment, tracking changes over time, and generating thematic maps to support management decisions. The use of such tools helps enterprises comply with environmental requirements and minimize their impact on the environment.

KB "Panorama"'s participation in the seminar confirmed the high level of demand for domestic geographic information technologies in the oil and gas sector. The presented solutions clearly demonstrated that the implementation of comprehensive GIS platforms helps improve production process efficiency, enhance data quality, and form a unified digital space for the enterprise.

This seminar brought together specialists from the mining and oil and gas industries, software developers, and specialized organizations. The event served as a platform for discussing current issues of production process digitalization, improving the accuracy of geodetic and geological work, and introducing modern geoinformation technologies in industry.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Pitcairn Islands, 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 the Automatic Recognition and Vectorization Suite "Panorama Vision" version 1.9.1. In the new version, a number of important improvements have been implemented aimed at increasing the accuracy of interpreting satellite data and aerial photographs.

Forest recognition quality on winter images has been improved. The neural network model has been retrained to account for seasonal features of images, including snow cover texture and reduced contrast of forest boundaries. Updated post-processing algorithms for semantic masks allow reducing the number of false positives under winter survey conditions.

Building recognition accuracy on satellite and aerial photographs has been improved. The improvements affected both the segmentation stage and subsequent post-processing of results. Neural network models were retrained on new images of Russian cities. Algorithms for adjusting building outlines to rectangular form have been improved: the service now more accurately determines the dominant orientation of the object and works more stably with complex L-, U-, E-, and other composite shapes. As a result, the outlines become more precise, orthogonal, and suitable for further use in cartographic and cadastral tasks.

A new neural network model, "Roads (rural areas)", has been added to the "Panorama Vision" suite, trained for segmenting dirt roads on satellite images of rural territories. The model has greater sensitivity in extracting unpaved roads outside and inside settlements, allowing a reduction in the number of breaks in the road network after vectorization.

Furthermore, the quality of processing large images has been improved by eliminating artifacts when stitching tiles. Previously, when processing large rasters, local mask defects and recognition instability could occur in border zones between individual image fragments. The updated processing scheme ensures consistent object formation across the entire image area, including on large rasters. This is especially important for large scenes covering urban development, forests, and agricultural territories.

The implemented changes make the service more accurate and stable when processing large data volumes in tasks related to forest fund monitoring, capital construction inventory, and cartographic information updating. To use the Panorama Vision service, you need to launch the "Automatic image recognition" task from the main menu of GIS "Panorama": Launch applications - Automatic object creation - Automatic Recognition and Vectorization Suite - Automatic image recognition.

The current version of GIS "Panorama" is available for download in the Download section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Operator" version 15.5.4. In the new version, capabilities for working with special maps and geoportals with vector data have been expanded. Support for background loading of large data volumes has been added. Editing, import, and data visualization tools have been improved.

For special maps (aeronautical and nautical), new object types and attributes have been added, including meta-objects for forming hierarchical links between data elements. This allows more flexible description of complex structures and object interrelations without complicating map geometry.

Support for geoportals with vector tiles (PBF/GPKG) has been implemented, enabling work with multi-scale data and their automatic stylization. Background opening of large projects up to tens of gigabytes in size has been added, allowing work to continue without waiting for full loading.

Editing tools have been improved: capabilities for working with semantics and classifiers have been expanded, label formation has been improved, and simultaneous viewing and editing of properties for multiple objects has been implemented. Accuracy and convenience of creating and processing vector data have been enhanced.

Data import and export capabilities have been expanded, including support for GML/JSON with preservation of display styles. Search via the reference system and tools for working with object lists have been improved, simplifying navigation and data analysis in large projects.

Data visualization has been enhanced with new types of diagrams that allow clear display of statistical and thematic information directly on the map. Support for MTD models based on LAS version 1.5 data has been added, and 3D analysis capabilities have been expanded, increasing the efficiency of spatial data processing and interpretation.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed "ARM of the Urban Planner" version 15.5.4. The new version expands capabilities for working with state sources of spatial information used for territory management. Connection to layers of the digital platform "National System of Spatial Data" (NSDS) is provided. The map editor supports maintaining regional GIS layers hosted on the GIS Server and their automatic updating in the NSDS using GIS WebService SE. Data export functions ensure the unloading of information for placement in state information systems for ensuring urban development activities (UDAS) in accordance with regional rules for their maintenance.

The program has implemented support for geoportals providing vector data for territorial planning in PBF and GPKG formats. Such data may contain object geometry, their attribute characteristics, and metadata for various scaling levels. When connecting such services, a multi-scale map is formed, for which display styles for various object types are automatically assigned. This allows using geoportal data, traditional vector maps, remote sensing materials, and databases in one project, significantly expanding territory analysis capabilities.

Special attention has been paid to working with large spatial datasets. The system has improved the mechanism for opening vector maps of tens of gigabytes in size containing millions of objects. Loading such maps is performed in the background, allowing the user to continue working with other project data. After loading is complete, the map automatically updates and becomes available for full viewing and editing. This increases the productivity of specialists analyzing large volumes of urban planning and cadastral information.

In the "Map Editor" mode, tools for creating and editing objects have been improved. Snapping capabilities to elements of other objects have been expanded, including automatic detection of segment centers and more visual display of snap points. Such mechanisms simplify precise object placement and improve spatial data quality during the preparation of urban planning schemes and plans. Additionally, the reliability of operations with area objects has been increased due to automatic contour preparation before merging them, reducing the likelihood of errors when editing complex territorial structures.

To improve the convenience of spatial information analysis, the ability to open multiple object property windows simultaneously has been implemented. Specialists can compare attributes, coordinates, and other characteristics of various map objects, and also quickly transfer data between them using the clipboard. This is particularly useful when working with interrelated elements of territorial planning and real estate complex objects.

Additional improvements have affected mechanisms for displaying object labels, the operation of the geodetic editor, and tools for preparing cadastral documents. Capabilities for generating reports and geodetic construction schemes have been expanded, XML data processing and support for various coordinate systems, including local ones, have been improved. These changes provide more convenient integration of data from state registers and increase the accuracy of spatial information preparation.

"ARM of the Urban Planner" provides specialists in territorial planning, land management, and urban development analysis with effective tools for working with spatial data. Increasing the productivity of cartographic information processing, integration with modern geoportals, and improved editing tools allow accelerating the preparation of urban planning documentation and improving the quality of decisions made in territory development management.
