In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of urban planner" version 14.3.1 has been developed. "Workstation of urban planner" implements the automated workstation of urban planner on base of GIS Panorama Mini and the additional module "Complex of urban planning tasks". The new version of the program uses the PostgreSQL object-relational database management system to store urban planning documents, information about land plots, real estate, networks of engineering communications and other territorial infrastructure facilities.

PostgreSQL is free and completely open source software. PostgreSQL has most of the features presented in large commercial DBMSs such as transactions, subqueries, triggers, representations, external keys, integrity constraints, and miscellaneous locks. In addition, it has new features: user-defined types, inheritance mechanism, the rules and concurrent multiversion control for working with the contents of locks. The performance of PostgreSQL is similar to other commercial DBMS and open source DBMS.

Installing PostgreSQL together with the GIS Server onto hardware running the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system in combination with the use of the information system "Workstation of urban planner" as a client, allows you to create ISOGD of various levels on domestic software. In the course of work, the "Workstation of urban planner" uses attributive and spatial data about objects of urban planning activities. Information about land plots, objects of capital construction, territorial zones and restricted zones is maintained in the form of a duty cadastral map (DCM) of the territory. "Workstation of urban planner" provides automated updating of DCM according to information from XML-files of the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN). The coordinates of objects on the DCM are presented in the local coordinate system (LCS). Placement of the DCM on the GIS Server allows using the LCS parameters that are hidden from users. When displaying the DCM as part of the "Workstation of urban planner", coordinate transformation "on the fly" is supported, which ensures the combination of DCM with images of public geoportals of Rosreestr, Roscosmos and commercial organizations.

In the new version of the program, the task of connecting geoportals has been improved. There is added a support for seamless coverages in the form of a tiled substrate for various territories of the Russian Federation in certain areas from the Bank of Basic Products of Russian Space Systems (RCS). Support has been implemented for arbitrary user-defined data matrices in local coordinate systems with user-defined reference points and arbitrary axes direction. This allows you to connect any data in BIR and GeoPackage format.

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson of formation of a graphic file of the scheme of land plots layout for a graphic part of the land survey plan. Users of "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" or "Panorama-editor" can make schemes of land plots layout with the subsequent formation of graphic files of schemes using the tools of the complex of geodesy calculations.

The training material demonstrates the procedure for forming the scheme of a land plots layout for the graphic part of the land survey plan, drawn up in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation dated December, 8th, 2015 № 921. On the basis of this order in software products of KB "Panorama" the classifiers of symbols survey.v5.rscz and survey.v6.rscz have been developed. In classifiers there are implemented the general list of layers, semantic characteristics and objects for displaying cadastral information on cadastral maps and other cadastral documents.

The scheme of land plots layout is intended for displaying a location of land plots relative to adjacent land plots, borders of cadastral division, natural objects and (or) objects of an artificial origin, lands of the general using, land plots of the general using, territories of the general using.

Preparing a scheme of land plots layout is an obligatory stage in the production of cadastral works on formation of land survey plan of the land plot.

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the maps of the Astrakhan and Volgograd regions on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The maps were formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the maps, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The maps were led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m) and were saved into a packed project (mptz). 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 14.3.1 has been developed. In the new version the tools for selecting and analyzing events from remote video cameras, connecting geoportals, editing and control of vector terrain maps and designing aeronautical maps have been improved.

Options for working with remote video cameras connected to the Internet have been expanded. Now the user can select the types of events for which he wants to receive notifications from the video camera. Events include: movement of people, cars and other objects in the video camera's visibility field, crossing the perimeter of a closed zone, appearance or disappearance of objects in the frame, detection of facts of vandalism and sabotage. To receive event notifications, the video camera must support appropriate video analytics and the ONVIF standard for Internet communication.

New features provide filtering of event notifications from the video camera. The user can select the types of events that interest him in the dialog "Setting up an event filter", which is called in the "List of photo and video data" mode of the "Share your photos with the coordinates of the shooting" task. The dialog displays a list of event types supported by a particular video camera. Events are grouped by topics. At the top level of the hierarchy, the groups correspond to the main video camera services. These include: a video analytics service, a media service, a service of camera status monitoring, etc. At the lower levels, events are grouped according to clarifying features. For example, events from the video analytics service are divided into events related to motion detection in the frame, field detection (perimeter intrusion, the appearance or disappearance of objects), object detection (person, car), etc. If authorization is required when connecting to a camera, and it has not been saved earlier, then its parameters will be requested from the user before opening the "Setting up an event filter" dialog. After the user has marked all the events of interest to him, the subscription to receive events is activated. Viewing event notifications will be available in the camera video view window.

The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. Ability to access archived data from geoportals has been added. The archives may contain data on the state of the area for a certain period of time or other geospatial information. Examples of such data can be remote sensing data, electronic field maps, thematic maps, weather maps, geological, geographic, geophysical, engineering and other data. For example, using this task, you can connect fire maps provided by the Information System for Remote Monitoring of the Federal Forestry Agency (Rosleskhoz). This system provides data from aviation and ground observations, from satellite monitoring of forest fires, from a lightning direction finding system. Access to information is carried out taking into account the specified time interval of observations.

Vector map checking has been improved. When performing topology checking of "Mismatch of objects" with editing, the matching of the metrics of point objects, vector objects (buildings) with areal objects (blocks) has been added. The new algorithm takes into account the presence of several objects adjacent at one point. Errors corrected during the checking process are not displayed into the log. Duplicate error messages have been reduced.

There is significantly accelerated the opening of the "Map Legend" containing a tree of types of objects with conventional signs. The Map Legend is opened by pressing the F11 key or via the Tools\Map Legend menu.

In the "Clones killer" mode of the "Correction of objects metrics" application, the "Check semantic values" option has been added. This allows you to exclude from processing the objects that match in spatial coordinate description, but have differences in the description of attributes.

A dialog for viewing the diagnostic log containing service information about the program's operation has been developed. The diagnostic log file can be large. To speed up work with the log, reading and displaying the file is performed block-to-block from the end of the file. Initially, the last block of the diagnostic log is displayed. Within the current block, it is possible to search for the message text in the forward and backward directions.

Conventional symbols have been added into the classifier of aeronautical maps to display the signatures of the minimum absolute flight altitude in the area with the value displayed in meters or feet. The symbols are designed in accordance with the requirements of Doc 8697 ICAO Guidelines for Aeronautical Charts.

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

In the GIS "Panorama" a support has been implemented for seamless coverages from composition of geoinformation service "Basic Products Bank" (BBP) of Roscosmos. The service, which provides services for the search, formation and dissemination of information products of remote sensing data, was developed by specialists of joint-stock company "Russian space systems". To connect to the service, you need to register on the BBP website BBP in the personal account of the service user and conclude an agreement to receive data on the selected territory.

The BBP contains data from various spacecraft, such as BKA, KANOPUS-V, KANOPUS-V-IK, METEOR-M, RESURS-P and others. Seamless coverages are provided in the form of a tile substrate according to the TMS standard for various territories of the Russian Federation in separate regions. To support seamless BBP coverages in the GIS "Panorama", a direct connection of geoportals according to the TMS standard has been added. The storage of tiles of the TMS service is presented as a set of files ordered by directories, the so-called tile pyramid. To quickly find the required tiles, the coordinates of the tile pyramid (Z/X/Y) corresponding to the level of the pyramid, the column number and the row number of the tile are used. The GIS "Panorama" supports two search algorithms Z/X/Y and Z/Y/X, which allow you to generate a request for providing data, get tiles from the storage and draw the extracted data.

The composition of seamless coverages is constantly updated, to dynamically add layers to the composition of the displayed map, you must use the "Open map in WMS/WMTS service" dialog. To connect to BBP, it is enough to enter the connection string and api-key received in your personal account on the BBP website. In the task of connecting geoportals, a support has been added for arbitrary user matrixes of tiled pyramids in local coordinate systems with user-defined reference points and arbitrary direction of axes. This allows you to include BIR and GeoPackage format data.

BBP integration with GIS "Panorama" provides information independence from foreign remote sensing data providers and creates a geoinformation ecosystem based entirely on domestic software technologies and information resources. For users of state and municipal authorities of various levels, the BBP is a tool for accessing information products generated according to the remote sensing data of Russian Space Systems. Embedding BBP products into the GIS "Panorama" ensures their application for solving various applied problems of global and regional monitoring.
