In KB "Panorama", GIS "Panorama" version 15.3.0 has been developed for the operating systems "Astra Linux Special Edition", "ALT Linux", "RED OS", and Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04). The new version includes capabilities for managing lists of map objects, expands the functionality of the map editor when working with linear coordinate systems, and introduces a task for transitioning from geodetic heights on the ellipsoid to normal heights on the geoid.

The program has added functionality for creating lists of map objects. Object lists are formed for selected objects, providing flexible options for including various combinations of objects using all available search and selection filter options provided by the system. The settings for object lists for the current map can be saved in an OBL format file and restored in subsequent sessions as needed. The object list creation dialog interface allows for adding new lists, modifying existing lists, and deleting them. Object lists are used for automated processing of groups of objects when performing intersections and unions, constructing zones around the contours of listed objects with specified parameters, and for conducting searches.

The ability to dynamically label objects in lists has been implemented. This new method allows labels to be placed over the map considering the current display composition and visibility of objects. Dynamic labeling is performed according to the dimensions of the client area of the window. To improve readability during map scaling, such labels are always drawn while maintaining the font height chosen by the user. When labeling a polygonal object, the label is placed within the visible part of the polygon being labeled. When moving the map image, the label automatically shifts so that its text remains entirely within the client area of the window. To enable dynamic labeling, it is necessary to specify the semantic code for the selected object list (types of objects), which will serve as the label text. After selecting object lists and displayed semantics, the option "Dynamically label objects" must be enabled. To change the color of list labels, simply select a color in the list tree. Editing additional label parameters is performed in "Assign Custom Style" mode. When changing the list formatting color, label parameters, or semantic code, label updates are applied to the map. Labeling and thematic layer display parameters are saved and restored upon application startup. Dynamic labels are always applied over all open maps, taking into account the visibility of the labeled objects.

The task "Map Editor" has been refined. The "Linear Coordinate System" toolbar has added new modes: "Route Network Construction" and "Display Linear Measurement Value on Route". Route network construction involves calibrating routes based on a set of calibration points. The calibration mode can be executed for a selected route, a group of highlighted routes, or all routes present on the map. The affiliation of a calibration point to a route is determined by matching the value of the semantics "Route Identifier". The calibrated linear measurement values are recorded in the 4th coordinate (M) of each route point. During the calibration process, the correctness of the calibration points is monitored, and incorrect data is filtered out. The display of linear measurement values on the route is performed for pre-calibrated routes. After activating the mode and selecting a route object on the map, when moving the mouse pointer, the cursor connects to the selected route at the shortest distance, and the linear measurement value is displayed at the nearest point on the route to the cursor.

The algorithm for the "Stake Placement" mode within the "Linear Coordinate System" group has been modified. Stake (kilometer mark) construction can be performed for a selected route, a group of highlighted routes, or all routes present on the map. Each created kilometer mark is assigned an attribute description that includes the identifier and name of the route, the linear measurement value of the mark, and the interval at which this point was constructed. Depending on the current map scale, kilometer marks constructed with different intervals are displayed at various scales.

A task has been added to transition from geodetic heights on the global ellipsoid WGS-84 to heights on the geoid (normal heights). This task allows for converting matrices loaded from SRTM format (radar topographic survey) and other matrices in the WGS-84 geodetic height system to normal heights (mean sea level), as well as performing the reverse transformation of matrices from normal heights back to WGS-84 geodetic heights. Geoid models EGM2008 (Earth Gravitational Model) in WGS-84 coordinate system are used for height conversion. Geoid models are presented as matrices in MTW format with different cell sizes: at 1-minute and 2.5-minute intervals. Bilinear or bicubic interpolation is used to obtain height corrections from the geoid model, based on user selection.

The GIS "Panorama" is a versatile domestic geographic information system. The program is designed for accumulating, storing, automated processing, and displaying data, calculation results, and forecasts with geospatial references. GIS "Panorama" contains tools for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks such as modeling the movement of special objects against a 3D model background, predicting consequences of emergencies at hazardous facilities, monitoring aircraft movements, conducting geodetic and topographic works, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing displayed spatial data on various output devices, and many others.

Specialists from the KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on creating an XML document for the territorial zone in accordance with the XSD schema interact_entry_boundaries_v02, approved by the order of Rosreestr dated December 25, 2023, No. P/0554. The format of the textual report for the land management object map (plan) is approved by the resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 30, 2009, No. 621 (as amended by the resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 17, 2016, No. 444, effective from June 1, 2016).

To create textual and electronic XML documents, the following technological stages must be completed: preparation of the land management object map (marking the boundaries of objects and characteristic points), adding the contract for land management work to the cadastral work database, preparing graphic files, and filling in attribute information. The map should be created according to the current classifier survey.v6.rscz. To mark the results of cadastral work on the map, objects from the "Cadastral plan of the territory" layer are used. The video lesson includes examples of establishing and modifying (clarifying) the boundaries of the territorial zone. When forming a map (plan) for boundary establishment, the boundary of the created zone must be marked on the map. For the zone, it is required to fill in the semantics of "Map Object Status" (code 999, key STATUSOBJ) with the value "New". In all nodes of the object's metrics, characteristic points should be marked with the type "Characteristic Point" (key P0040000001). The mode "Creation of titles of rotary points of object" is used for marking.

When modifying (clarifying) information about the object, the boundary of the modified territorial zone is marked on the map. In the semantics of "Map object status", the value "Modified" is indicated. To describe the modified (clarified) sections of the object's metrics, point objects are placed: Characteristic point (P0040000001), Characteristic point to be clarified (start) (START_CHANGE), Characteristic point to be clarified (end) (END_CHANGE), Characteristic point to be deleted (start) (START_DELETE), Characteristic point to be deleted (end) (END_DELETE).

When clarifying (modifying) or deleting a part of the boundary contour, the coordinates of existing points should be used as the first and last points of the modified section. The changes to the contour will occur within the range of points defined by START_CHANGE and END_CHANGE. The removal of a part of the contour will take place within the range defined by START_DELETE and END_DELETE.

To initiate the procedure for generating the report and XML document on the map, it is necessary to specify the contour of the real estate object. The object-contour defines the boundary coordinates (metrics) of the land management object and its attributes (semantics). This object is used when initializing the "Map (plan) of the object land" dialog.

The attributes of the objects are filled in using the "Editing of registration data of object (semantics)" mode. All information entered in the dialog is saved in the semantics of the map object. The "Map (plan) of the object land" dialog works in conjunction with the cadastral work database. The contract number is used to store information in the database, organized under the following tabs: customer, contractor, grounds, coordination, transfer to fund, boundary plan. The "Settings" tab displays the settings required for generating the report and XML, and also performs validation against XSD schemas. The XSD files for checking the XML document are automatically selected according to the schema specified in the header of the dialog.

You can familiarize yourself with the training materials in the "Video Lessons" section.

On August 12, 2024, a military scientific conference titled "Operational Processing of Remote Sensing Data" was held at park "Patriot" as part of the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", organized by the Military Topographic Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Representatives from research, production, and educational organizations participated in the conference. There was significant interest in the conference topics regarding the development of domestic technologies for processing remote sensing data from representatives of the armed forces' management bodies.

Experts from KB "Panorama" showcased technologies for processing data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their subsequent automatic recognition and vectorization using artificial intelligence.

The product "Panorama Photo" is designed for automatic processing of UAV data, allowing for orientation and the construction of measurement models, formation of dense point clouds, height matrices, and orthophotos.

The resulting digital terrain model, combined with data from other sources, including open sources, is used to create vector objects for hydrography, agricultural land, buildings, roads, forests, and more. The software suite "Panorama Vision" is designed for this purpose, providing automatic decoding and vectorization of terrain object boundaries. The suite processes RGB images in RSW/JPG/TIFF/PNG formats. At its core, the suite employs artificial intelligence utilizing deep neural networks based on attention mechanisms.
