In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 14.2.5 has been developed for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (Release "Smolensk"), OS "Alt 8 SP" (architecture x86-64) and RED OS. In the new version, the ability to control the selection of map objects has been added, the task of importing DXF format data has been improved. Tools of map editing have been expanded, a type of programmable signs has been added to display bar charts, the list of scripts in the python language has been expanded, the efficiency of searching and displaying data has been increased by optimizing the allocation of RAM.

The task "Highlight any area" has been improved. Changing the conditions for selecting objects selected by area has been simplified. The selection of objects by area is performed using the "Select inside the object" and "Select by any area" modes (polygon, rectangular fragment, lasso). At the end of drawing the area on the map, objects located inside the selected area are highlighted. To change the selection conditions, press the right mouse button and select one of the modes in the context menu: Highlight inside (delete intersection), Highlight with intersection (and inside), Highlight outside (delete intersection).

Marking of objects on the map according to various search conditions has been improved. If clusters are displayed on the map (generalized signs of closely spaced objects specified in the classifier), then the corresponding signs of clusters are displayed and marked, taking into account the number of signs and their location on the map.

The composition of the "Map Editor" task has been extended. In the "Point editing" mode, the "End points in alignment" auxiliary mode has been added, designed to cut or extend the first or last segment of a linear object.

New type of programmable signs has been added for displaying bar charts 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 "Bar chart" is shown in the data example on the map \Data\shape.

Import from DXF format has been improved. There is added a recalculation of coordinates and sizes of characters from storage units specified in DXF: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and so on.

The formation of graphic primitives from the parameters of symbols specified in DXF has been improved, which allows you to reproduce the view of the original drawing without setting the symbols.

A script has been added into the list of basic python scripts that calculates the distance from the selected object up to several selected objects with recording into the semantics of the calculated value.

The tasks of sorting, importing and exporting maps in SXF and TXF formats have been improved to support clone objects. RAM distribution has been improved when processing large data sets (tens of gigabytes and more than a hundred million objects). The speed of searching and displaying data has been raised.

The 14th international scientific-practical conference "Geodesy. Mine Survey. Aerial Survey. Navigation", held in Moscow from February 16 to February 17, 2023, has ended. The Conference "Geodesy. Mine Survey. Aerial Survey. Navigation" is an interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of experience and information, bringing together market leaders to demonstrate domestic and foreign innovative scientific and industrial developments in the field of geodesy, mine surveying and aerial photography. KB "Panorama" is a regular participant of this conference, held annually.

This year the specialists of KB "Panorama" have demonstrated a new product - a program for processing aerial photography materials "Panorama Photo". The report has been presented and the master class was held, during which the conference participants were able to get acquainted with the functionality of the program and ask questions. Participants of conference have especially noted the usability of "Panorama Photo", possibility of specifying various systems of coordinates for target production (including local ones), the easy unloaded user interface. Employees of KB "Panorama", in turn, received effective feedback from potential users, which allows to provide for the further development of the program in a practical way.

"Panorama Photo" is designed to obtain digital information about the area based on materials of aerial photography. The processing results are a dense point cloud, a digital relief matrix and an orthophotoplan. The map materials obtained with the help of the program can be used to solve a wide range of problems in the field of urban planning and cadastral activities, national defense, mapping, ecology, forestry and others. The program for processing aerial photography materials "Panorama Photo" is included into the Register of domestic software (entry in the Register - No. 15472).

In KB "Panorama" the GIS Constructor toolkit has been developed for Aurora OS. The program allows you to create GIS applications for mobile devices based on the Aurora OS on a basis of the cross-platform interface for working with spatial data MAPAPI and the Qt framework. GIS Constructor for Aurora OS includes libraries of a multi-platform multi-threaded GIS-kernel that implements ample opportunities for performing calculations, providing visualization of spatial data in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps. The geoinformation system has ample opportunities for execution of calculations, providing a display of spatial data on various graphic devices in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. Automatic optimization of used RAM is supported for processing large amounts of data (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes). To write the user interface, QML technology is used, which allows you to connect the graphical part of the GIS application with the functionality implemented in the C++ language and accessing the GIS kernel to perform operations on geospatial data.

As an example, the program includes the source texts of the mobile application GIS "Panorama Mobile" for OS Aurora. They can be taken as a basis at creation of own mobile application in the C++ programming language with use of tools of Qt and QML. GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to jointly display vector maps (topographic, operational situation, marine navigation, aeronautical), matrix and raster data (Earth's remote sensing data). Modern packed formats of vector maps SITZ, MAPZ, MPTZ are supported, which are decompressed in RAM on the fly. The user can dynamically control the visibility of each layer for easy viewing and analysis of spatial data. Popular spatial data geoportals (OpenStreetMap, Yandex, KB "Panorama" and others) can be used as cartographic substrates. Connecting geoportals allows you to receive cartographic information anywhere in the world when determining the current location and recording the route from the built-in GPS / GLONASS receiver. GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows processing data formats of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-editor, GIS Panorama Mini).

The business portal BFM-Novosibirsk published an interview with the director of the state budgetary institution of the Novosibirsk region "Fund of spatial data of the Novosibirsk region" (GBU NSO "Geofond NSO") Alexander Ivanovich Dyakovov about what goals can be achieved using the services of the Institution, what are the prospects for its development and about Fund of spatial data.

"Five years ago we intuitively have followed the path of domestic developments and chose the GIS "Panorama" system. As practice has shown, the system perfectly works with spatial data, especially in the field of the large-scale cartography", - informs Djakov A.I.

The fund of spatial data of the Novosibirsk region, created with use of the GIS "Panorama", is used to provide the construction industry of the region with relevant and reliable information about the territory from the beginning of design and survey work, during the construction period and until the end of the operation of the facility. The Fund solves the problems of accumulating of information on spatial data and construction, systematization and verification of incoming data, their analysis to support management decision-making in the implementation of investment and construction projects. The use of the Fund's materials can significantly save time and budgetary funds due to their reuse. Designers, prospectors, builders, cadastral engineers, network organizations, authorities of all levels apply to the Fund for materials.

A fund of spatial data with similar capabilities can be deployed on the basis of the Complex for maintaining the regional geoportal "Geoportal Region". The software package is intended for maintaining a bank of spatial data, publishing digital cartographic information, thematic information from databases, documents, organizing remote interaction with automated control systems, systems for monitoring the state of the area, transport management, providing urban planning tasks, maintaining a land and real estate cadastre.
