KB "Panorama" has developed a "Complex of geodesy calculations" for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system. The program is an additional module for GIS "Panorama" version 15. The complex includes tools for generating cadastral and land management documents in the "Cadastral Documents" and "Geodetic Editor" tasks.

The "Cadastral Documents" module includes modes such as "Information from the State Real Estate Cadastre", "Reading Cadastral Territory Plan and Map Updates", "Editing Cadastral Work Object Attributes", "Cadastral Work Database", "Map (Plan) of Land Management Object", "Land Survey Plan", "Territory Map-Plan", "Registry Error Correction", "Plot Location Scheme on Cadastral Plan", "Check XML File Against XSD Schema" and "Digital Electronic Signature". All these modes are designed for data preparation and cadastral document generation. Using standard GIS "Panorama" tools, a map is created containing new and refined (modified) cadastral objects that define object geometry. Attribute information required for reports and electronic documents is entered into the map objects' semantics or the cadastral work database.

Text reports are created in DOCX format according to established forms, and electronic documents are created using XML schemas depending on the document type. The "Map (Plan) of Land Management Object" mode supports XML document generation according to interact_map_plan_v01.xsd or interact_map_plan_v02.xsd schemas. The "Land Survey Plan" mode supports XML document generation according to MP_v09.xsd schema. The "Territory Map-Plan" mode supports XML document generation according to MapPlanTerritory_v01.xsd and MapPlanTerritory_v02.xsd schemas. The "Registry Error Correction" mode supports XML document generation according to ReportRegistryError_v01.xsd and RegistryErrorReport.xsd schemas. The "Plot Location Scheme on Cadastral Plan" mode supports XML document generation according to SchemaParcels.xsd schema.

The "Geodetic Editor" module includes groups of modes: "Picket Selection", "Object Creation", "Geometric Constructions", "Along-Object Constructions", "Parallel-to-Object Constructions", "Object Modification", "Dimension Labeling", "Scheme and Drawing Preparation" and "Report Generation". This module's modes contain special tools designed for mapping information obtained during field cadastral and land management work. Additionally, the module includes tools for designing schemes and drawings with dimension lines, callouts, dimension labels, and explanatory notes. The report wizard tools are designed to support the generation of text reports in custom forms configurable by users.

The report wizard uses pre-prepared DOCX templates and ensures sequential execution of the following operations: map object selection, object scheme map creation, scheme map viewing and editing, template-based report creation, filling the report with information from map object metrics and semantics, and inserting scheme map images into the report. The software report wizard is used in modes "Create Object Scheme and Fill Report", "Fill Report for Object", "Generate Object Scheme in Separate Window" and "Generate Object Scheme and Add to Current Window". The "Scheme and Report Settings" dialog is used to manage sequential operations. Depending on the active mode, the dialog displays different tab sets, including "Scheme Parameters", "Object Codes", "Report Parameters" and "Images".

In accordance with regulatory requirements, graphical images of schemes and drawings are included in XML documents in PDF format. However, inserting PDF files into DOCX format reports is not supported. For inserting images from attached PDF files, the "Save Image for Graphic Part of Report" mode ensures simultaneous saving of the map fragment in both PDF and JPG formats. When PDF format files are present in the list of attached graphic files, the report wizard automatically searches for the JPG file based on the PDF file name and inserts it into the report.

The new version of GIS "Panorama" with the "Complex of geodesy calculations" for "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS is available for download in the Download section.

As part of the "Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Real Estate Registration" training program at the Digital Department of Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography (MIIGAiK), students are interning at KB "Panorama" JSC. During the internship, participants learn about the capabilities of GIS "Panorama" and the "Panorama Vision" Automatic Recognition and Vectorization Complex.

One of the key focuses of the internship is studying technologies for automatic recognition of real estate objects from satellite images using neural networks. This is the most promising method for automatic addition and updating of cadastral information. Neural networks are trained based on manually recognized land plots, buildings, and structures. This method isn't perfect and can lead to inaccuracies since source images of each area are unique. Buildings across the country's regions can be constructed differently, resulting in neural networks trained on one type of terrain performing poorly when recognizing objects in different terrain types.

The interns' practical work involves preparing training datasets for the neural network models of the "Panorama Vision" complex. Tasks are performed in the professional GIS "Panorama" environment, for which temporary licenses were issued. During the work, students receive consultations from highly qualified company specialists. Interns solve practical problems of establishing buildings' true positions considering source information issues and construction conditions. Students received initial instruction, assignments, and methodological materials reflecting the specifics of digitizing training sample objects, considering private sectors, urban development, metal hangars, collective garages, and other objects. The results will be used for subsequent automation and improvement of cadastral activities in identifying objects not registered in the cadastre. The "Panorama Vision" complex is designed for automatic recognition and vectorization of agricultural lands, hydrographic features, and capital construction objects using Earth remote sensing data (satellite and aerial photographs).

"Digital Departments" is a project implementing professional retraining programs. These programs are part of the federal project "Development of IT Industry Human Resources", which is part of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation." This joint project between the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia allows students to obtain a new profession in information technology.

KB "Panorama" and MIIGAiK are long-standing strategic partners. Their joint activities are aimed at promoting domestic cartographic and geodetic education and geographic information systems software.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS ToolKit Active version 15.0.6 for creating geoinformation systems with free licensing in any programming environment supporting ActiveX technology, such as Visual Studio. The new version features an updated GIS core with enhanced RSC digital classifier management tools and overlay operations. Support for new geoportals has been added.

The map object classifier file access component (axMapRsc) has been improved. The new version adds support for "Date and Time" semantics, enabling input and processing of various date and time formats when working with spatial databases, as well as performing object search and selection operations based on specified conditions. Semantic values are stored in Greenwich Mean Time and displayed in local time with time zone indication on client workstations (e.g., "01/01/2025 12:57:09 +3").

In the "Libraries" tab under the "Formulas" section, the ability to view the list of formulas connected to the iml-library classifier has been implemented. When selecting a formula, the list of classifier semantics with the "Programmable Formula" type is populated. For the selected semantics, corresponding objects are displayed as a list of symbols or a table with their characteristics.

When forming the object table as a list, the ability to configure object property display has been added. The table can be sorted by object property in alphabetical ascending or descending order. By default, the object table is displayed as a matrix of conventional signs.

Support for semi-transparent polygon area figures has been implemented. To select a new type, users must choose "Area" in the elements list, select "Area-glass" in the "View" tab, and enter a transparency value.

The geoportal connection component (axMapWMSPopupDialog) has been enhanced. Support for vector data in GeoPackage (GPKG) format has been added — a modern, open, and cross-platform format developed for storing and exchanging geospatial information. GeoPackage allows storing vector data, metadata, and attribute information in a single SQLite database file.

GIS ToolKit Active contains a set of visual and non-visual components enabling the use of spatial and attribute data for display and special calculations. These components are used to create geoinformation systems at various levels (federal, regional, municipal, corporate). The toolkit implements support for local, state, and international coordinate systems (parameters for over 4,000 different coordinate systems are included in the delivery package). An extensive Geospatial Data Bank is available for use with the toolkit.

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

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Kingdom of Thailand, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. 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".

KB "Panorama" has developed the automatic recognition and vectorization service "Panorama Vision" version 1.1.1. The new version features improved accuracy in interpreting building contours and agricultural plots. The complex integrates a new neural network model optimized for recognizing building contours in terrain images with spatial resolution of 0.1-0.3 m/pixel. This model enhances building recognition quality on orthophotomaps generated by "Panorama Photo" software from aerial photography processing.

The combined use of "Panorama Photo" and "Panorama Vision" software products maximizes automation in generating ready-to-use geodata. This includes orthophotomaps, elevation matrices, and vector maps created from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) data and satellite imagery. Additionally, "Panorama Vision" has improved building contour detection on satellite images with spatial resolution of 0.75 m/pixel and lower. For all image categories, algorithms for separating closely positioned buildings have been enhanced during vector map creation. In agricultural land boundary interpretation, automatic "snapping" of land contours to rectangular shapes has been added. When creating vector maps, agricultural land objects, hydrography, and buildings are formed using the unified classifier map5000m.rscz. For agricultural land objects, the "Arable land" object with code 71324100 is used, for hydrography - "Water body" with code 31120002, and for buildings - "Residential building" with code 44200000.

"Panorama Vision" processes terrain images in RSW/JPG/TIFF/PNG formats and data from open geoportals. The software complex recognizes contours of field plots, hydrographic objects (rivers, ponds, lakes, etc.), buildings, and structures. Processing results are provided to users as vector maps, accessible via WFS protocol. The complex is implemented as services providing remote access to data interpretation. It is hosted on KB "Panorama" servers on the Internet. Access to the complex is available through the GIS "Panorama" application list: Launch applications - Automatic object creation option.

The current version of GIS "Panorama" is available for download in the Download section.
