Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on the formation of a graphic file of a drawing of land plots and their parts. Users of the "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" or "Panorama-editor" can draw up drawings of land plots with the subsequent formation of graphic files of drawings using the tools of the complex of geodesy calculations.

The training material demonstrates the procedure for the formation of a drawing of land plots and their parts, drawn up in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation from December, 8th, 2015 № 921. On the basis of this order in software products of KB "Panorama" the classifiers of conventional symbols survey.v5.rscz and survey.v6.rscz have been developed. In the classifiers there are implemented a general list of layers, semantic characteristics and objects for display of cadastral data on cadastral maps and other cadastral documents. Preparation of a drawing of land plots and their parts is an obligatory stage in the production of cadastral works on the formation of a land survey plan of the plot.

You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 6.5.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, MS Windows. The "Cartogram" component has been updated in the new version. The component provides a way of display in the form of a thematic map of socio-economic indicators or phenomena of displayed objects and the features of their distribution over the territory, displays the dynamics of changes of indicators in time and space. Quantitative indicators for spatial objects are loaded from a file of the tabular data of CSV format or from any text file. The constructed thematic maps can be used for analysis of various indicators in healthcare, geology, marketing and other areas. The example of a CSV-file for creating a cartogram is available on our site.

In "Search by map" a possibility of determining the address of a point by its coordinates has been added. For example, you can specify a point near a house on a map and get its address. The search result is displayed as a list in the "Map Objects" panel. Data acquisition is carried out through HTTP API of reverse geocoding of the address search source.

Possibility of editing the geometry of object in a tabular kind is added. Change of the metrics of object is visually displayed on a map, the information on object editing is recorded into the map's event log.

For dynamically updated map layers, the ability to track the state of these layers on the server has been added. Obtaining an image of dynamically updated layers (for example, when monitoring vehicle traffic) is performed if the state of data on the server has changed. It allows to optimise the number of data requests to the server. For work it is necessary to use a service the GIS WebService SE version 14.4.1 and higher.

In the new version the toolkit for developing Web applications the GIS WebToolKit SE has been improved, which expands the capabilities of GIS WebServer SE and can be integrated into other information systems. Access to data (images, vector maps and information about the terrain) is provided by Web services according to the generally accepted OGC protocols and ISO standards. Various types of elevation data are used as a digital elevation model: matrixes (in SRTM, GeoTIFF, IMG, MTW formats), TIN models, point clouds, and others.

Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data can be as a source of spatial data. It provides collection, storage, search and issuance of spatial data in exchange formats, a displaying the state of the data bank in the form of maps-schemes, automated generation and updating of geo-covers.

GIS WebServer SE is used in the construction of closed corporate systems to ensure the protection of data having a security classification or a trade secret. GIS WebServer SE complies with the information security requirements on the 2nd level of control over the absence of undeclared capabilities. The new version of the program expands the possibilities of the application when solving problems of analysis, management and long-term planning of the development of territories. GIS WebServer SE is implemented using the GIS WebToolKit SE, which can be used in development tools that use the JavaScript.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS ToolKit version 14.1.0 has been developed for creating GIS applications in the environment of C++ Builder, Delphi Embarcadero. In the new version the TMapDataConversion component has been improved. It provides conversion of spatial data presented in formats SXF, TXF, DIR, TXT, MAP, SIT, SITX, S57, KML/KMZ, MIF/MID, GML, GeoJSON. The component is based on the use of high-performance functions of the GIS core.

Into TMapDataConversion component the new functions have been added, allowing to carry out converting of spatial data into formats GML, GeoJSON, KML in a streaming mode or with use of dialogs. Export's settings are available to users: data format, coordinate system, mode for creating styles of conventional symbols, composition of metric, semantics and metadata, processing of a set of maps.

When processing data, the TMapDataConversion component receives information about the current state of the process: the percentage of execution, the presence of errors, the need to interrupt processing, information about the current map.

In the new version, the tools for searching for map objects in the TMapFind component have been expanded. The component now has the ability to search for objects based on their visibility in the current map display scale.

In the "Select object" dialog of the TMapObj component, the ability has been implemented for adding and editing semantics of type the "Link to the file folder". Value of semantics is the name of directory, which contains many files of different formats and folders. When accessing the filled semantics "Link to the file folder", a list of files contained in the root folder and subfolders is automatically generated. By double click by a mouse on the chosen file, the corresponding program of recognizing and processing the file is started. When referring to documents, tables and graphic images, the contents of the file are displayed, when referring to spatial data, the dataset is opened in a separate window. The folder with documents can be compressed into a ZIP file, and the object can be assigned the semantics of the "Link to a file" type. Actions with documents will be the same as when linking to a folder. When packing maps into MAPZ, SITZ, MPTZ formats, documents referenced from the semantics of type the "Link to the file folder" will also be packed into one data set, unlike semantics the "Link to a file".

In the "Select Object" dialog on the "Metrics" bookmark, the "Display order" item has been added into the context menu intended for selecting the property "Above everyone", "Below all", "Normal", which affects the position of an object relative to other objects. When the "Normal" property is set, the display order of the object is determined in the classifier by its layer, type of conventional symbol and localization. Into the context menu the "Save metric coordinates to EPSG:3857" item has been added, intended for saving the object metric in GeoJson format in the Mercator projection on the WGS-84 sphere.

To display tables with data on the map, a new graphic symbol "Table" has been developed. This symbol is a point object that has a link to a CSV file in semantics and a conventional symbol of the table type. The graphic parameters of the table are customized in the semantics of the object, in the RSC classifier or in the graphic parameters of the object. The table cell allows to place the text, the numerical data, pictures (in PNG, JPG, BMP format), colored figures and the percentage scales. The table can consist of one or more pages. Table parameters are customized in the "Editing a table" dialog. A layer with tables can be opened on top of any other data - spatial databases, geoportals, remote sensing data. The map, together with CSV files and background data, can be packed into one file of SITZ/MAPZ/MPTZ formats.

The GIS ToolKit consists of a set of visual components (supplied in source code) and API functions of the GIS core for direct access to spatial data. The toolkit is intended for the development of client-server and desktop 32-bit and 64-bit applications that require processing and visualization of spatial data. Spatial data can be located both at the workplace (direct access to data) and in a local network or the Internet (components of access to the GIS Server or data exchange by international protocols are used).

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the map of the Republic of India on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was 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). 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 GIS "Panorama" version 14.3.0 has been developed. The new version has improved tools for processing events from remote video cameras, connecting geoportals, editing spatial databases, solving urban planning tasks, and building TIN-models.

Ability has been added to view real-time events from remote cameras connected to the Internet. Events include: the movement of people, cars and other objects, the determination of the fact of crossing the perimeter of the closed zone, the appearance or disappearance of objects, the determination of the facts of vandalism and sabotage. All these actions can be tracked if they fall within the visibility zone of video cameras, connection to which will be customized on the terrain map. Video cameras must support the appropriate video analytics functions and the ONVIF standard for interaction with IP cameras.

You can set up receiving events from video cameras available on the map in the "List of photo and video data" mode dialog of the "Share your photos with the coordinates of the shooting" task. On the page of the list of video cameras, to the left of the network address of the camera, there is an icon indicating the current type of operation of the service for receiving events from the camera. Clicking on this icon means a request to enable/disable the service for receiving events from the specified camera. If authorization is required when connecting to a camera and it has not been saved before, its parameters will be requested from the user. After connecting, the icon will change its appearance: green rectangle - the camera is working, there are no events; red rectangle - an event has arrived; black rectangle - the camera is disabled; red cross - receiving events is disabled. You can disable all previously configured connections for receiving events at the same time by pressing the "Disable events" button in the dialog toolbar. In the lower left corner of the dialog there is a field for entering in seconds the period of polling the cameras about the occurrence of events.

After setting up receiving events, notification of an event that has occurred is made in the "List of photo and video data" window by changing the appearance of the connection icons. In the window for viewing the video image from the camera, a field for viewing the text description of events opens, containing the time of the event and its classification. The ability to view newly appearing events is retained in the open video viewing windows for all customized cameras after closing the "Share your photos with the coordinates of the shooting" task, and in the next GIS sessions.

The location of video cameras on the map, city plan, building, industrial area, three-dimensional model is indicated using various conventional symbols (objects). Objects can be moving if the camera is mounted on a vehicle. Setting up a connection to a video camera is carried out in the "Select object" dialog through adding value of semantics "Link to video image" or in the mode "Setting up and viewing a connection to a video camera" of the "Share your photos with the coordinates of the shooting" task. Integration of geodata with video streams and service of receiving the events of video analytics simplifies construction of systems of monitoring the state of the area, traffic control, security systems and others.

The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. There is added a support for arbitrary user matrixes in local coordinate systems with user-defined reference points and arbitrary axes direction. It will allow to connect any data in BIR and GeoPackage format. Support of seamless coverings from Bank of base products of the Russian space systems (RSS) has been added. Access is based on the api-key obtained in the user's personal account. The bank contains data from various spacecraft, such as BKA, KANOPUS-B, KANOPUS-V-IK, METEOR-M, RESURS-P and others. Seamless coverings are presented in the form of a tile substrate for various territories of the Russian Federation in separate regions. Support of direct connection of geoportals by the TMS standard has been added. Two types of algorithms are supported: {z}/{x}/{y} and {z}/{y}/{x}. To connect, just enter the connection string and api key. This will allow you to dynamically add and view layers through the dialog Open map on WMS/WMTS service without the need to edit the wmslist_en.xml settings file.

Support of OpenStreetMap geoportal has been improved. New layers of data were added: bicycle map, map of airports, humanitarian map, map of transport.

In the mode "Formation of an extract by the semantics of an object" in the Complex of urban planning tasks, the ability to select all semantics (object attributes) in the list, reset the selection of all semantics and save a selection of semantics to simplify the preparation of documents has been added.

In the "Export of territorial planning schemes to GML" task, automatic division of a territorial planning scheme into several GMLs (from 1 to 3) is implemented if there are several localizations in one scheme layer (line, polygon, point). Forasmuch as without dividing into different GMLs, the error "the unified approach is violated when describing the type of geometry" is generated. All files will have the same name as the map being saved, with the strings .#1-3, .#2-3, .#3-3 added to the name (if 3 files are created). For example (for 2 files): "Map of planned placement of objects.#1-2.gml", "Map of planned placement of objects.#2-2.gml". If there is only one localization in each schema layer (different layers can have different localizations), then division into several files is not performed. Forasmuch as FSIS TP does not support objects of the multipolygon (MultiSurface) type in GML, then when areal objects with several external contours (multipolygons) are saved in GML, automatic splitting into separate polygons is performed with the update of the new parts of the semantics 800 (GUID) and 1265 (object area) .

New type of programmable signs has been added for displaying pie and column diagrams according to the semantics of objects with display in a legend of semantics values (in addition to a sign displaying values in percentage). The description of diagrams includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors of the diagram. For each semantics the own parameters of displaying a sector are set. For all diagram the maximum width and the maximum height of the diagram are set. To the right of the diagram its legend is displayed. Texts of lines for signing of sectors are taken from semantics names, excepting repeating part of names. For example, if the semantics are called Number of inhabitants under 20 years old, Number of inhabitants from 20 to 40 years old, then the legend will contain the following lines: up to 20 years old, from 20 to 40 years old, and so on. The conventional symbol the Pie diagram is shown in the data example on the map \Data\shape.

In the task "Automated generalization of topographic maps", the mode "Generalization of areal hydrography" has been improved for constructing auxiliary objects of hydrography - the middle lines of areal rivers. When replacing narrow fragments of areal rivers with linear ones, the matching of the end points of new linear rivers with the points of the middle line has been added. When the areal tributaries are replaced, the created linear rivers reach the middle lines. Removal of coastlines along deleted fragments of areal rivers has been improved.

The task "Creating a TIN-model by a vector map" has been improved. There is improved a quality of building a TIN-model in the "By object" mode - matching of edges with the "Triangulation boundary" object has been added. The edges of the model that intersect the contour of the "Triangulation boundary" object are removed. Instead of deleted edges, edges are formed along the segments of the "Triangulation Boundary" object. Similar actions are performed for model's triangles. Deleted triangles are skipped when displaying and requesting heights from the TIN model. Check of a correctness of link to the neighboring triangles has been added. If the neighboring triangle is outside the "Triangulation boundary" object, then there is no link to the neighboring triangle. A triangulated irregular network TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) is a polyhedral surface consisting of triangles, the vertices of which are the initial reference points, as well as the metric points of structural lines and filling areas. TIN-model is built according to vector map data within a given triangulation polygon, including point, line and areal objects, with the "absolute height" characteristic or with a three-dimensional metric.

The interface of the "Map Editor" task has been updated. The image of edited and auxiliary objects, edited and copied points is reduced to a general view. In the Editor Options dialog, on the Service bookmark, the setting of colors and line widths used in vector map editing modes has been added. Flickering of map elements during various editing operations is excluded.

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