In KB "Panorama" the training materials on formation of three-dimensional maps of operational-tactical situation with use of the updated classifier operator.rsc and the library of 3D-models of military equipment operator.p3d have been prepared. The tutorials include an example of data project. It contains a map fragment of the operational-tactical situation, created with use of the operator.rsc classifier of conventional symbols of operational situation, which meets the requirements of the KEUZ standard, and the operator.p3d library of 3D models of weapons and military equipment, a topographic background, elevation data and terrain images.

In the new version of library of three-dimensional symbols operator.p3d of the classifier operator.rsc the simplified models of the Russian military equipment have been added for display on distances far from the observer. This approach increases the speed of displaying a three-dimensional terrain model on maps of the operational situation, saturated with equipment. At the same time, the near view of the models remains detailed, corresponding to specific types of weapons. The operator.rsc classifier provides preparation of special maps for all types and branches of the RF Armed Forces.

Creation of a 3D-kind of signatures is carried out now by means of fonts in format SDF (Signed Distance Field). Application of SDF-fonts allows to accelerate display of three-dimensional model of district at the expense of use of a uniform structure with the atlas of symbols at creation of signatures to objects and provides the best visual perception of the text. Thanks to automatic smoothing of borders of symbols the text created on new technology, is deprived such lack as gradualness along the edges of symbols, and remains visually smooth at turn and scaling in wide ranges. It raises readership of signatures and does work with three-dimensional model more convenient.

A new kind of 3D-titles has been added into the operator.p3d library. Creation of 3D-titles now is carried out by means of fonts in format SDF (Signed Distance Field). The use of SDF fonts allows accelerating the display of a three-dimensional terrain model by using a single texture with a symbols atlas when creating titles for objects and provides a better visual perception of the text. Thanks to automatic smoothing of symbols borders the text, created with the new technology is free from the disadvantage of jagging along the edges of symbols, and remains visually smooth at rotating and scaling in wide ranges. This increases the readability of the titles and makes working with the 3D model more convenient.

The document "Operator's guide for creating a library of 3D-models" will help, if necessary, to add your original 3D models of various objects into the existing library or create your own library of 3D symbols from scratch. You can get acquainted with the technology using the corresponding video lesson.

Accurate and realistic three-dimensional models of entire terrain areas and individual objects, created with use of technologies of scanning or third-party 3D editors, help to make a three-dimensional map more realistic. In the "Navigator 3D" task, support for 3D tiles of spatial data in DB3D format has been added to display accurate and realistic 3D models of unlimited size. DB3D format is intended for storing and displaying pyramids of three-dimensional tiles packed together with metadata tables in SQLite format. The format is intended for storing data in pyramids of 3D tiles of various types, for example, GoogleMapsCompatible (matrix compatible with Google data in projection EPSG:3857), GoogleCrs84Quad (matrix compatible with Google data in projection EPSG:4326). The level of granularity of the data and the coverage area is not limited. Import into DB3D format is supported: 1) models in Collada (dae) format; 2) models in OBJ format; 3) models in the TLS (Agisoft Tiled Model) tile format; 4) point clouds in Agisoft OC3 format. Separate import of point clouds in LAS format. Models of these formats can be exported from Geoscan company software, the programs SketchUp, Blender, MeshLab, Maya, 3D Studio Max, SP LIRA and others.

A detailed description of all the possibilities of creating three-dimensional terrain models is presented in the document "GIS" Panorama "ПАРБ.00046-06 Applied tasks. Building a 3D model".

The geoportal "Bank of the spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Slovenia, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. Source data obtained from Geofabrik website. 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.rsc). 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".

In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 13.5.1 has been released. For processing results of the measurements presented in a linear coordinate system, the new modes using the 4D-metric (X, Y, Н, M) of objects have been added. Tools of support of linear coordinate system are intended for execution of calculations along linear object - a route based on information about linear measurements. A linear measurement contains the value of distance measured along the route from its first point (the origin of the linear coordinate system) to the location you are looking for.

In the process of calculations there are performed the calculation by linear measurements of spatial coordinates (X, Y, H) and displaying the results of calculations on a map in the form of picket (a point sign) or a segment (a linear sign). Linear coordinate systems are widely used in the road and transport industry for describing the properties of an object and events along the route. For example, "Breakdown of a regular bus at 38 km of the M4 highway" or "A defect in the pipeline from 3458 to 3461 meters was found".

The measurement is stored in the M coordinate and contains the measured distance in meters from the first point to the desired one in the route. The M coordinate of the route must be formed before using the linear coordinate system. For its formation the "Route calibration" mode is intended. There are provided a simple calibration and calibration taking into account the division of the object by kilometer marks. For creating pickets on the map based on the results of linear measurements, the "Placing pickets along the route" mode is intended. The calculation of the coordinates of pickets is supported by measurements specified in the dialog or from a file of CSV format. The "Placing segments along a route" mode provides drawing on the map of linear objects - segments, limited by two pickets.

The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama" the Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information version 7.5 for the GIS "Panorama" 13 has been developed. In the new version the possibility of processing and storage of aviation messages from external sources has been added. This will allow users to create the necessary message bases for the benefit of the airlines. The complex implements the function of analysis and automatic processing of NOTAM messages, which allows you to form and analyze the base of restrictions in the airspace in a graphical form. The use of the NOTAM database allows the operator to create maps of time restrictions, activated zones and closed sections of routes for a certain region in a given period of time, which increases the efficiency of modeling the aeronautical situation. In the task "Flight procedures construction" the possibility has been added for forming the report of intermediate data of calculations of inverse schemes. The work of the AIXM import converter has been improved, the tools for processing several files in one session have been improved.

The complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information is intended for the creating and maintaining a database of aeronautical information, the formation of aeronautical maps, the designing of aircraft flight routes and the exchange of data with other information systems. Information exchange is carried out in the format of ARINC and AIXM 5.1. The main source of aeronautical information is the aeronautical data base created on the basis of the AICM (Aeronautical Information Conceptual Model), with additions for storing planned information and results of designing routes. The model is recommended by the "Eurocontrol" - international organization of planning and coordination of air traffic.

The new version of the program, examples of documents of aeronautical information, the operational documentation, video lessons and presentations are available for download on the Download page.
