Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of Gotland Island, 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 version 9.8.0 of the Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank. The new version optimizes handling of large volumes of spatial data (over 5 million records). With the growth of federal spatial data funds, constantly supplemented with digital maps, remote sensing materials, and metadata, the load on the information system increases. Analyzing performance and identifying bottlenecks was addressed using artificial intelligence technologies, enabling detailed analysis of executed queries, identification of the most resource-intensive operations, and determination of further optimization directions.

Optimizing the processing of large data volumes allows the Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank System to serve as a platform for building centralized spatial information repositories. Enhanced performance ensures stable system operation amidst continuous growth in digital maps, remote sensing materials, and metadata, reduces user query processing time, and supports further scaling of state information resources.

New metadata synchronization modes with the schematic map improve spatial information management by visually displaying coverage zones. Users can view all objects on the map, only search/filter results, or only selected records. This reduces visual load when working with large spatial datasets, accelerates analysis of territory coverage, and enables quick comparison of tabular and cartographic data. Saving selected display modes for each data type ensures a consistent user environment and improves usability.

Data security is ensured through access rights management based on operating system security features. Supported are normal authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (via web server), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory). Additional security is provided via end-to-end authentication when working with the database. Database connections are made with the permissions of the user operating the system. The system is adapted to work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, Ubuntu, RED OS, MS Windows, etc.) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal). The program is registered in the Russian Software Registry under number 1862.

The Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank serves as a foundation for building spatial data infrastructure at federal, regional, and municipal levels, as well as in corporate information systems. Within a unified geospatial environment, it enables collection, storage, quality control, search, and delivery of spatial data in exchange formats. Data selected via the program can be made available for multi-user access on the GIS Server and published via international OGC standards (WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS) on the GIS WebService SE application server. Users can access data via thin client (GIS WebServer SE) or desktop applications (GIS Panorama, GIS Operator). The Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank supports building cloud spatial data storage, providing access to this data, and automated generation/update of geoportrayals.

The current state of spatial data is displayed using schematic maps maintained for each stored data type: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The system supports remote placement of spatial datasets into file storage, versioning of stored datasets, updating data availability maps, automated metadata collection and generation, and formation/update of geoportrayals. Metadata collection and generation follows ISO 19115:2003 (Geographic information – Metadata) and ISO/TS 19139 (Geographic information – Metadata – XML schema implementation). Reduced image copies are automatically generated, file checksums are verified, and dataset completeness is checked. Placing spatial data into file storage includes integrity verification, structure control, and data content validation. Work results are logged and entered into the metadata database. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage is provided with integrity control and data recovery. Multilingual interface is supported.

The "Spatial Data Bank" portal demonstrates capabilities for organizing storage, accounting, and delivery of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, compiled from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). Spatial data includes maps of Russian Federation subjects, countries, and cities in the near and far abroad, totaling over 450 vector maps and 6,700 matrix datasets with a total volume exceeding 250 GB. KB "Panorama" specialists regularly update and refresh the portal information weekly. All published data is distributed free of charge under a free license.

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

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.5.6. This version includes improved means for processing remote sensing data, automatic image recognition, and detection of unregistered features. Tools for creating and updating digital terrain maps have been enhanced. A task for deploying UAV detection and Electronic Warfare (EW) assets has been added. The geodetic and cadastral toolset now includes enhanced data collection and reporting tools for describing the location of boundaries of objects from the boundary register. Automated report generation has been implemented for agroforestry and agrophytomelioration surveys in accordance with Russian Ministry of Agriculture Order No. 225 dated April 26, 2024.

In the "Multispectral Image Analysis" task, new functions for calculating the EVI, CVI, and GNDVI vegetation indices have been added. These indices are designed for assessing vegetation state, identifying crop stress, and analyzing green cover density from satellite and UAV imagery. EVI is used for dense vegetation and biomass assessment, being less sensitive to atmospheric interference and soil background than classic NDVI, and works better in areas with dense vegetation. It uses Blue, Red, and Near-Infrared (NIR) channels, calculated as: EVI = G * (NIR - Red) / (NIR + C1 * Red - C2 * Blue + L), where G, C1, C2, L are user-adjustable coefficients. Practical EVI ranges: below 0 (water, snow, shadows), 0-0.2 (bare soil/sparse vegetation), 0.2-0.5 (moderate vegetation), above 0.5 (dense vegetation). CVI focuses on chlorophyll content, identifying early signs of plant stress, moisture deficit, and nitrogen deficiency. It uses Green, Red, and NIR channels: CVI = (NIR * Red) / (Green^2). Practical CVI ranges: 0-1 (soil/sparse vegetation), 1-5 (moderate vegetation), above 5 (active green biomass). GNDVI serves to assess photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content, more sensitive to early-stage changes than NDVI, using Green and NIR channels: GNDVI = (NIR - Green) / (NIR + Green). Practical GNDVI ranges: below 0 (water, shadows, non-vegetated surfaces), 0-0.2 (sparse vegetation), 0.2-0.5 (moderate vegetation), above 0.5 (active dense vegetation). Display can use predefined grayscale/color palettes or load from RSW/MTQ files. Display changes apply to all open multispectral images by default. The vegetation index map can also be saved as an MTQ quality matrix. Multispectral images are loaded via: "File – Import raster and matrix from ... – Rasters (BMP, TIFF, JPEG ...)".

In the "Automatic image recognition" and "Search for unregistered features" tasks, functions for saving recognition parameters and managing processing requests have been added. These changes aim to reduce manual operations and improve usability when processing large areas. When selecting an output area "By feature," the selected feature's contour is sent to the server with the request. Upon final processing, all recognized features are automatically clipped to the original contour boundary. This allows interpretation strictly within the boundaries of a selected feature (rather than a rectangular area), useful for processing administrative parcels and cadastral contours. A mechanism for saving recognition profiles in JSON format has been added. All parameters, including neural network model, recognizable object class, and advanced vectorization parameters, are automatically saved when the dialog is closed and restored on next launch. Furthermore, "Save Profile" and "Load Profile" buttons allow transferring settings between workstations or using pre-prepared parameter sets for different data types. In the "Search for unregistered features" task, the option to select reference features using a map filter has been added. After setting the filter, matching features are automatically highlighted on the map, simplifying source data control before processing. Selected objects are also saved in the recognition profile and restored on next launch. For easier request list management, the ability to delete completed requests via context menu has been implemented, keeping the processing list current and speeding up result retrieval. The "Copy layer to map" command has also been added, allowing recognition results to be transferred directly onto the current map. If the recognized layer was generated for the same map, objects are automatically recoded from the panvision.rsc classifier to the current map's classifier.

The "Automatic image recognition" task is designed to identify buildings, roads, water bodies, agricultural land, forestry features, and vehicles in satellite and aerial imagery. The "Search for unregistered features" task additionally compares recognition results with a reference map to identify features missing in the source data.

Retrieval and display of terrain data via the OGC WCS protocol has been accelerated. Visualization considers the current map scale: tiles corresponding to the current zoom level are requested from the server for faster display. However, for analytical operations—terrain profile construction, point query, and other computations—data from the highest available resolution is always used. Connecting to GIS WebService SE allows rapid height data retrieval for the entire globe. For instance, the GEBCO layer with 15-arc-second resolution includes ocean bathymetry data, seafloor topography, underwater feature names, and land/ice surface elevation data.

In the "Map Editor" task, a new mode "Construction of a geodesic arc" has been added. This mode is intended for creating an arc object defined by three points: center, start, and end. If the map supports geodetic coordinate calculation, constructions are performed on the ellipsoid; if not, in the map's planar rectangular coordinate system. When creating a new feature by keyboard coordinate input, geometry node point coordinates can also be loaded from SHP, OGC GML, or GeoJSON exchange format files.

A mode "Create features from sub-features" has been added to create area and linear features based on inner contours of one or more selected features. Upon activation, the user selects the type of feature to create, then chooses an area feature containing sub-features. New features will be created for each inner contour of the selected feature. To create features from sub-features of multiple features, those area features must be selected before activating the mode. Feature selection can be done via the "Map feature search" dialog or other selection methods.

A mode "Delete sub-features within area" has been added. This mode allows deleting sub-features of area features and additional contours of linear features within a user-defined area. When processing multipolygons, inner and outer sub-features are deleted, except the main contour. To use: select the editable feature, draw an arbitrary contour defining the area (finish with a double left-click), and sub-features within the selected feature are deleted. Drawing additional areas for the selected feature repeats deletion in the new area.

The "Emergency Forecast" system has been enhanced with a "Component for controlling air object detection and EW assets" and a "Dam break wave modeling" mode. The component optimizes the placement of reconnaissance assets (visual or radar for low-altitude air objects) and radio-electronic warfare means within a designated positional area. It includes a database of Russian radars and EW systems (such as Polyana, MGLA–04m, Peroed-S, Gipnoz-103, Volna 2, Volna 3, Volna-Khrust 360, GBSH 950) aimed at suppressing UAV control channels, satellite navigation (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou), and providing spoofed coordinates for UAV disorientation. The "Dam break wave modeling" mode calculates the propagation of a flood wave in case of a dam/dike failure, generating a flood wave advance graph, a map, and a flood inundation matrix.

In the "Report Designer" task, a mode for overlaying a geodetic coordinate grid on a map inset frame has been added. The coordinate grid is formed with spacing specified in the task parameters dialog. A frame is created around the map inset, with latitude and longitude values for the generated grid lines. Rebuilding is automatic when editing the inset contour or its content (scale change, move, rotate). A new toolbar is added for the "Edit inset content" mode, appearing upon activation, containing auxiliary modes accessible via right-click menu or hotkeys.

The full-screen map display mode, "Interactive Whiteboard", has been enhanced. Designed for quickly adding simple objects to maps during briefings and presentations, it supports input via touch screens or mouse, creating various graphic objects, rotating the map, and saving screenshots to PNG, JPG, TIF, BMP. The task is launched from: "Window – Full Screen (Alt+Enter)."

The application task "Construction of minimum altitude map" has been improved. It automatically generates a minimum altitude map from obstacle maps and terrain elevation matrices. The minimum altitude map contains labels for minimum safe flight altitudes and most dangerous objects within cells of a specified size. An intermediate output is a terrain elevation map with cell contours colored according to standard hypsometry and containing absolute maximum height values per cell in attributes. Additionally, a point object indicates the location of the maximum height within each cell. Maximum cell height can be calculated using MORA rules (strictly within cell boundaries) or AMA rules (within cell plus an 8 km buffer zone). New version features: significantly increased processing speed for elevation matrices, improved user interface, and the ability to select a map area for minimum altitude map creation. Elevation matrices from web services via WCS protocol are supported. Generated maps are applicable in the Aeronautical Information Preparation Suite.

In the "Export map to CSV, TXT, XYH, XLSX" dialog, the ability to export feature attribute tables to HTML and DBF formats has been added. HTML provides convenient tabular data representation for web browsers and report preparation; DBF enables further processing in various information systems, databases, and specialized software. Expanding the supported format list simplifies data exchange between different software packages and enhances usability of cartographic outputs.

In the "Cadastral Documents" task, the "Description of boundary location" mode now processes objects from the boundary register: settlements, territorial zones, specially protected natural areas, zones with special conditions of territory use, agricultural land, and forest park green belts. The program analyzes the cadastral object type, reads necessary map data, and generates text boundary descriptions. Descriptions for settlements, territorial zones, specially protected areas, and zones with special conditions follow forms approved by Ministry of Economic Development Order No. 650 (Nov 23, 2018). Agricultural land descriptions follow Rosreestr Order No. P/0339/25 (Sept 19, 2025). Forest park green belt descriptions follow Rosreestr Order No. P/0230 (June 21, 2023). In the "Cadastral object attributes" mode, it is now possible to select a document from the cadastral works database to automatically populate information on land category, permitted use, property address, and access provision. The list of attributes for certain cadastral object categories has been expanded. The "View and edit XML file" dialog has been updated, allowing analysis and processing of generated electronic cadastral documents, including map (plan) of land management object, boundary plan, territory map-plan, technical plan, property inspection act, etc. The XML content displays as a tree of elements and attributes; selecting a specific tree node allows modifying element and attribute values.

The "Territory map-plan" mode has been updated for XML generation according to version 01. Address element now includes OKATO and OKTMO data. The Area element automatically fills the Formula value based on program settings if not specified in the property's semantics. The cadastral works database management tools and their use in cadastral document generation have been enhanced. The address table structure used for populating physical and legal entity information has been updated. Address division type accounting ensures synchronization between the cadastral works database and the State Address Register database. In the "Parcel location diagram on the CTP" dialog, the authority name can now be selected from a directory. The "Map (plan) of land management object" dialog now displays information on formed parts in the participant and sub-participant list.

In the "Geodetic Editor" task, the "Fill report for object" mode has been enhanced to generate two new reports: an inspection report for agroforestry plantings and an inspection report for agrophytomeliorative plantings. The program analyzes map objects of specified types, reads their metrics and semantics, and populates the report according to Russian Ministry of Agriculture Order No. 225 dated April 26, 2024. The "Coordinate system mapping file settings" dialog now includes reading information on coordinate systems from XML extracts from the state forest register regarding forest blocks and forest inventory subdivisions.
