KB "Panorama" has developed Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing data version 8.1. The new version adds support for exporting large amounts of metadata of vector and raster data, analog maps and images, geodetic data, documents and accompanying materials to exchange formats (XML, XLSX, CSV, DOC). This gives the opportunity to use different software for analysis, preparing materials for download, and generating reports.

Display, import and export of points of the planned-altitude basis (PAB) is carried out taking into account whether the data belongs to closed or open information. When the processing of confidential information is prohibited, this data (coordinates in the state system and heights) for a certain type of points is not processed, displayed or uploaded. The differentiation of rights makes it possible to organize separate and protected access to information. The process of deleting a large number of records (more than 10 thousand) has been accelerated. New coordinate systems have been added to the reference book. It has been expanded list of diagnostic and error messages.

Data security is ensured by the differentiation of access rights based on the security tools that are part of the operating system. It is supported basic authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (web server tools), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory). Additional security is provided by the use of pass-through authentication when working with the database. Connection to the database occurs with the rights of the user working with the system. The complex is adapted to work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, MS Windows and others) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal). The program is registered in the register of domestic software under the number 1862. Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing data is the basis for building the infrastructure of spatial data of the federal, regional and municipal levels, in corporate information systems. Within the framework of a single geoinformation space, Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing data implements the collection, storage, quality control, search and issuance of spatial data in exchange formats. The spatial data selected with the help of the program can be placed for multi-user access on GIS Server and published according to the international standards OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on the application server GIS WebService SE.

Users can access data both from a thin client (using GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing provides the construction for the cloud storage of spatial data, providing access to this data, automated formation and updating of geo-covers.The current state of spatial data is displayed using maps that are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices and terrain models. It provides remote placement of spatial data sets in file storage, maintaining versions of stored sets, updating maps-schemes of data availability, automated collection and generation of metadata, formation and updating of geo-covers. Automated collection and formation of metadata is carried out according to the standards ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information - Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information - Metadata - XML schema implementation. Reduced copies of data images are automatically generated. Checksums of files and completeness of data sets are checked. The placement of spatial data in the file storage is carried out with integrity verification, control of the structure and content of the data. The results of the work are logged and entered into the metadata database. There are provided automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage with integrity control and data recovery. Multilingual interface is supported.

The portal "Bank of spatial data" demonstrates the possibilities for organizing the storage, accounting and issuance of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in format SXF based on data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The structure of spatial data includes maps: subjects of the Russian Federation, countries and cities of near and far surroundings. In total, over 300 vector maps and 6700 matrix data with a total volume of 70 GB. Specialists of KB "Panorama" weekly update the content of the information on the portal. All published data is distributed free of charge in accordance with a free license.

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and posted on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data" maps of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Novgorod and Pskov regions. The maps are based on the data OpenStreetMap. To operate the maps, it is possible to use the program GIS Panorama Mini or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The maps are converted to the modernized 1:5000 large-scale plan classifier (map5000m) and saved to the packaged project (MPTZ). The placement of updates in the spatial data bank was performed using the program Data bank of the digital maps and remote sensing data. Publication of the contents for the spatial data bank on the geoportal and access to data for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps based on data OpenStreetMap in format MPTZ are available for download on the page Digital maps.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.2. The new version implements the saving a set of open spatial data, including geoportals, vector maps, images, matrices, databases into pyramids of tiles in the format Mbtiles or KMZ according to the selected scale range. The format Mbtiles is a database SQLite that stores images in png, jpg, or png8 formats. Pyramids of tiles can be published via the protocol OGC WMTS by the service GIS WebService SE or displayed in the programs GIS "Operator", GIS "Panorama", in various mobile applications. The purpose to form a set of rasters (tiles) is to accelerate the display in WEB and mobile applications of spatial data containing a large number of objects or occupying large amounts of data. The pyramid Mbtiles is formed in the coordinate system EPSG:3857 with the pyramid type GoogleMapsCompatible. It is possible to create tiles using the menu File – Export to a pyramid of tiles - Pyramid of tiles Mbtiles/Pyramid of tiles KMZ.

The task "Report Designer" has been improved. It is added dynamic display of sash lines when drawing new insets. This lets to make mutual alignment of report elements already at the stage of their creation. It is added the ability to lock and unlock the design map of the project (report maps). After the report project has been created and configured, it is prepared for use. It consists in setting restrictions on the display and selection of objects contained on auxiliary maps. This reduces the number of mouse clicks when selecting objects of the background map, simplifies the solution of computational tasks and the usual editing of the information background map included in the project. Objects located on design and auxiliary maps during the work with the ready-made project, it is not included in the list of objects found at the cursor point when clicking on the map. The new mode of report designer "Lock Project", which is included in the group of modes "Project", it prohibits selection for objects contained on the report map, which includes report design elements (frames, insets, additional design elements). When deleting or adding additional maps to the report project, changing the properties of the added maps, It is necessary to save MPT-project (File - Save). The main properties of the map (Editing, Copying, Object select) are assigned in the dialog "Data List" ("Properties" button). If the background map included in the project, it is MPT-project itself, it is necessary to open this project separately, configure the visibility and access to the maps included in it, and resave the project. It is improved saving projects and reports to a packaged MPTZ project. If the display area restriction is set for the source data, then the data are recorded to the packaged project with cropping within the specified area. This lets to reduce the volume of reports or work maps by several times. When saving a report in MPTZ on the background map in the task "Report Designer", the data will be automatically clipped to the boundaries of the report. If the maps in the project contain references in semantics to other MPT projects or maps (for example, insets), then they will be automatically packed. This makes it possible to simplify the preparation of working maps for specified territories with the addition of inset sections for maps of different scale, images, legend of conventional symbols, tables and documents, recording all information in one compressed file. The packaged MPTZ project is supported in software products of KB "Panorama" on all platforms, including mobile devices.

The task "Raster editor" has been improved. The new mode "Restore" has been added to the raster editor panel, and the mode "Step back" has been improved. The specified modes provide step-by-step restoration of the rasters edited in the task, both backward ("Step back") and forward ("Restore"). While drawing on a raster, auxiliary files are created with the original and edited blocks of the edited raster. Auxiliary files are generated in the temporary files folder. The modes "Step Back" and "Restore" are functioning in one session of the raster editor. After the "Raster Editor" panel is closed, the auxiliary files are deleted and restoration of the raster imagebecomes unavailable. The mode "Building the graph network" has been improved. There are recorded all the selected characteristics of the objects in the objects of the new graph (arcs), on which the graph was built. If there is no characteristic in the graph classifier, the characteristic is recorded into arcs in special semantics with a service code starting from 660001. This method lets to save not only the value, but also the name of the source map classifier semantics.

There are improved topographic fonts designed to prepare for the publication of topographic maps of various scales. The changes have been made to the fonts P151, T132. Fixed display errors of characters, changed their width and distance between them. It is added support for the Cyrillic character set to the font D432.

The construction of the marginal design of topographic maps has been improved. It is fixed the placement of kilometer grid captions, adjacent zone kilometer grid strokes, geodetic grid, terrain conditions, and factory code. It has been refined the metric of dashes for the kilometer grid of the adjacent zone for maps of scales from 1 : 10,000 to 1 : 200,000. It has been ensured the deletion of kilometer grid labels that intersect with the geodetic grid coordinates and with indices of the angular zones for maps of scales 1 : 500,000 and 1 : 1,000,000. When constructing a linear scale, objects with graphic design are replaced by standard objects, the appearance of which is described in the classifier. The construction parameters (FRM files) have been updated and the classifiers used to build the marginal design of topographic maps at scales from 1 : 10,000 to 1: 1,000,000. The type of fonts used for the captions of the margin design has been clarified in the classifiers, the square second points of the geodesic frame have been replaced with round ones. To build a marginal design, it is necessary to select in the main menu: Tasks - Preparation for publication - Marginal design.

The module "Geodesic editor" has been improved. It has been added a step for changing the initial number in the dialog "Automatic completion of the semantics for selected objects". The boundary lines of each plot are formed in accordance with its points in the dialog "Designing a plot with boundary lines".

The module "Complex of cadastral tasks" has been improved. When forming a boundary plan, there were implemented algorithms for analyzing the semantics of characteristic points: "Cadastral number" paired with "Object part number" and "Registration number in the register".

Unloading into the boundary plan in the section "Information on the performed measurements and calculations" the information about the methods of determining coordinates (METHOD) and formulas for determining the points SCP (FORMULA) are performed in accordance with the semantics of boundary points. For generation a boundary plan in the file XML in the section "Information on changed land plots and their parts" (ChangeParcel) of the element "Contours of the multi-contour land plot, the transformation of which is carried out" (TransformationContours), it is added reading information about registered numbers (PART_NUMB) of the external contours MKU for the option cadastral work "Section ...". The composition of MCU does not need to include removed contours, only those are changing (transforming) are needed. When recording the error formula for determining the area to the report, there has been added the ability to insert a formula from the program settings with substituted values. If there is semantic value FORMALA_S, then it is inserted. If there is no semantics, a formula is inserted with values with the selection option: "formula", "formula and initial data", "formula, initial data and error value".

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

KB "Panorama" has developed the Converter of large-scale plans to format DXF version 8.6.0. The program lets to generate a large-scale topographic map or plan in format DXF in standard symbols adopted for cartographic work in the Russian Federation. In the new version of the program, the functionality has been expanded in terms of obtaining a drawing in the required units of measurement. When converting data, the coordinates of the source map objects are automatically converted to the established units of measurement. This lets to set up symbol templates for conversion in various programs that work in different coordinate systems. The program supports coordinate systems with the following units: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, micro-inches, and so on up to light years and parsecs.

As part of import substitution, most domestic companies - manufacturers of cartographic data that previously used AutoDesk products (for example, AutoCAD) in their work, are forced to switch to alternative software that supports the format DXF. To ensure a more accurate transfer of the color palette for objects in the output map (DXF drawing), the functionality of setting the color code by index and RGB code has been corrected in the new version of the converter. This will display map data in the specified color palette when opened with alternative software.The new version of the converter now displays more detailed information about the license. In addition to the license key number, the user has access to information about the license validity period and the end date of the program technical support. The package includes classifiers and libraries of symbols in format DXF for large-scale maps and plans of scales 1: 500, 1: 1,000, 1: 2,000, 1: 5,000.

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared the video tutorial on the operation of the mode "Adding semantics". Users of "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" or "Panorama-editor" can add semantics to objects using the tasks of the complex "Geodetic editor".

The mode "Adding semantics" is located on the subpanel "Processing the object attributes" of the geodetic editor. The task is intended to add the value of semantic characteristic to the selected objects. It is necessary to select objects on the map, activate the mode "Adding semantics", specify the name and value of the added characteristic, and click "Execute".

The result of the mode operation is the filled in specified semantic characteristics. It is possible to be sure that the necessary semantic characteristics of the object are filled in using the mode "Request of object description" (Object selection) or the mode "Editing attributes for the object of the cadastral works" of the panel "Cadastral documents" of the complex "Geodetic editor".

It is possible to be acquainted with the training materials in the section "Video Tutorials".
