Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared an update to the address database used in GIS "Panorama" and "Workstation of cadastral engineer". As part of the latest update, the database has been supplemented with more than 3,500,000 new records covering various categories of objects: land plots, capital construction objects, parking spaces, apartments, and rooms.

The updated version of the address database has been automatically integrated into the functionality of the software products and is available when performing cadastral work. In particular, it simplifies the editing of object attributes and the formation of technical plans for buildings, structures, construction in progress, premises, and parking spaces. The database structure fully complies with the State Address Register (GAR) and allows users to select addresses in accordance with municipal and administrative-territorial divisions. To ensure compatibility with previous addressing systems (KLADR and FIAS), the database includes unique identification codes of objects from these registers.

The "Panorama" address database is formed based on up-to-date information from the Federal Tax Service website. The current versions of GIS "Panorama" and "Workstation of cadastral engineer" are available in the Download section.

From February 25 to 26, 2025, a training seminar was held in Perm for employees of PPK "Roscadastre" to prepare them for performing comprehensive cadastral works in the regions of the Russian Federation. The event, organized by the branch of the public law company "Roscadastre" in Perm Krai, was held at the Perm State Agrarian and Technological University.

Comprehensive cadastral works (CCW) are being conducted by PPK "Roscadastre" branches across 17,500 cadastral quarters in 87 regions of the Russian Federation. Aerial photography using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is widely used in performing CCW. Specialists from various regions of the country attended lectures and gained practical skills in applying photogrammetric tools and geoinformation technologies. They improved their skills in processing field work results, maintaining cadastral maps, clarifying the location of land plot boundaries and real estate objects, filling in attribute information, and preparing cadastral documents.

During the event, KB "Panorama" employees presented the capabilities of GIS "Panorama" for maintaining cadastral maps using various source data applied in comprehensive cadastral works. The training discussed the specifics of georeferencing source photo and cartographic materials for digitizing them as part of the cadastral map. Advanced data processing technologies were presented, including "Panorama Photo" for processing materials obtained from UAS, and "PanoramaVision" for automatic recognition of various object classes from terrain images.

The training demonstrated the connection to services of the federal state information system "Unified Digital Platform 'National Spatial Data System'" (NSDS) in GIS "Panorama". The "Select geoportals from list" mode provides connection to map base layer images and cadastral objects. The "Search by geoportal" task allows searching by cadastral number or cadastral object address. The "Information from the state real estate cadastre" mode provides attribute information about the following classes of cadastral objects: land plots, buildings, structures, objects under construction, zones with special conditions for territory use, boundaries of municipalities and settlements, and boundaries of water bodies.

Special attention was given to using the tasks "Reading CPT and map updating", "Cadastral works database", and "Cadastral object attributes" for preparing cadastral maps of comprehensive cadastral works territories. For creating and editing land plots, buildings, and structures, the digital classifier survey.v6 was recommended. It contains necessary cadastral objects as a separate layer "Cadastral plan of territory". PPK "Roscadastre" specialists were shown how to use the "Formation of territory map-plan" mode to create a text report and electronic XML document. The ability to form electronic documents according to MapPlanTerritory_v01.xsd and MapPlanTerritory_v02.xsd schemas ensures the submission of comprehensive cadastral work results to the Unified State Register of Real Estate in compliance with regional specifics.

KB "Panorama" has developed the "Spatial Analysis Complex" designed for studying territorial properties and finding relationships between objects and their attributes. The program creates thematic maps based on data in planning and development, social, geographical, environmental, and financial research. The construction is based on quantitative indicators of information about natural resource reserves, soil and vegetation quality, planning and development, distribution of animal species, environmental pollution levels, healthcare, demographics, crime, and other phenomena. Thematic maps allow statistical data to be visually displayed on a selected terrain map, from a World map to a map of an individual city. The results of spatial analysis are saved as various map options: colored and hatched polygons, bar and pie charts, hexagonal networks. The complex is installed as part of GIS "Panorama". The complex panel is launched in the "Launch Applications" dialog in the "Thematic Maps and Diagrams" section. The procedures for creating thematic cartograms and diagrams allow the formation of graphic images that clearly illustrate the relationship between values of a selected characteristic for individual digital map objects.

The hexagonal network construction procedure creates thematic maps in the form of a hexagonal network based on positive and negative environmental impact factors in the selected territory. When building a thematic map, the selected map fragment is covered with a network of hexagonal cells of equal area containing objects of interest. The choice of hexagonal cell shape is explained by a more homogeneous structure of connections between neighboring cells: each hexagonal cell has 6 neighboring cells, with equal distance to the centers of adjacent cells. As an example, parameters for building a map of favorable areas based on a test terrain map have been added to the program installation. The map construction takes into account the presence of objects of interest (residential buildings) and environmental impact factors, as well as the distance of objects of interest from environmental objects. Objects with negative factors include objects (territories) representing technological hazards (chemical plants and nuclear industry enterprises), noise levels (construction sites, railways, major highways, stadiums), air quality (landfills, livestock farms, smokestacks), unfavorable landscape elements (cemeteries, swampy areas). Objects with positive factors include objects (territories) that improve the quality of the urban environment (theaters, sports grounds, swimming pools), favorable landscape elements (forests, water bodies). Each object is assigned a radius of influence (in meters) on neighboring objects. For example, a major road is assigned a radius of 3000 m, a railway track - 1000 m, a landfill - 5000 m. For objects of small length and area, the radius of influence is reduced. Upon completion of the hexagonal network construction, the map is colored according to the degree of influence of negative and positive factors: red - unfavorable area, orange and yellow - areas with poor and low quality urban environment, green and blue - areas with good, high and comfortable quality urban environment. When selecting the "Show hexagonal network statistics" mode, a dialog opens to display statistics for the hexagonal areas of the network. The dialog contains lists of objects of interest (residential buildings), lists of influence objects and influence factors. Selecting objects allows highlighting them on the map.

The "Calculate semantics values for included objects" task allows copying object semantics based on territorial affiliation and works in two modes: calculations by semantics and transferring semantics from included objects to selected polygons. The "Calculations by semantics" mode allows analyzing the distribution of a group of objects within selected polygons (area objects) and filling the semantic characteristics of polygons based on the results of the analysis. Before launching the dialog, polygons to which semantic characteristics will be added are preliminarily marked on the map using search and selection tools. The analyzed objects are specified by the map object filter (Filter button).

The "Copy semantics to included objects" task is designed to transfer values of specified semantic characteristics from reference polygon objects to the semantics of territorially dependent selected objects of the digital map. If the input map and the map with editable data have different classifiers, one characteristic should be selected from the list of copied semantics and coordinated with the semantics of the selected objects. Otherwise, with identical classifiers, multiple selection of copied semantics is allowed. Coordination of semantic characteristics is performed automatically.

KB "Panorama" specialists have prepared a video tutorial on the "Building a hexagonal network" task. The Spatial Analysis Complex complements the capabilities of the 3D Analysis Complex for studying terrain properties using various source data. The current version of GIS "Panorama" is available for download in the Download section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.12 for the domestic mobile OS Aurora. The new version implements tools for adding objects or sets of objects from object template lines. Import of TIFF format elevation matrices has been added and the list of map types for creation has been expanded.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows creating special maps in various subject areas: cadastre, ecology, air navigation, forestry or agriculture, emergency situations, and others. To support the subject area of maps, KB "Panorama" has developed specialized classifiers. The main advantage of mobile GIS is working with maps on location: the user creates, deletes, moves, or edits map objects while in close proximity to them. When working on populating maps, there is often a need to add similar types of objects. Finding and selecting the type of object to create takes more time than the process of adding it to the map. The template panel solves the problem of object selection: it allows saving object types for repeated application. When opening a data set or changing the active map, the "Template Panel" associated with the selected map is automatically loaded. Changing the assigned object is also easy: just hold down the panel button. For planning the placement of objects on the ground or creating map objects from standardized objects, the application of multiple objects together has been implemented. When placing a set of objects on the map, it is possible to change the tilt and position of the set.

The program has added import of TIFF format elevation matrices into the internal format of GIS "Panorama" for accurate data retrieval from elevation matrices in the form of height at a specific point. The imported elevation matrix is saved next to the imported file with the MTW extension. For user convenience, popular map types (for example, Topographic 42 year or PZ-90.11) have been added to the "Create Map" task with the ability to specify a zone. Now you can select the necessary map type without specifying the EPSG code. When adding an object from a CSV file, the ability to specify the "WGS-84 Degrees" coordinate format has been implemented. This allows importing data from many third-party mapping programs.

The complete source code of the GIS "Panorama Mobile" application for Aurora OS is available for review as part of the GIS Constructor toolkit for Aurora OS.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows opening and editing the main digital map formats of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on Aurora OS, processing information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. Users can prepare the necessary set of spatial data in advance using one of the desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-Editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and transfer it to the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". Data processing is performed autonomously, without an Internet connection. As the user moves, their current position is dynamically displayed according to coordinates received from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For convenience, there is an option to synchronize the map position with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, there is a track recording mode that creates a separate map and plots the movement trajectory on it. Basic information is provided for all map objects during operation. The program was developed based on the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using Qt.

Aurora OS is a Russian mobile operating system developed by "Open Mobile Platform" company. The operating system is designed to build trusted mobile infrastructure and protect sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium-sized commercial companies. It contributes to ensuring the technological sovereignty of the state through a secure mobile environment and meets all the requirements of regulators in the field of national security and information protection. Aurora OS allows centralized management of mobile devices and mobile software when using Aurora Center. The current version of the Aurora mobile OS has been certified by the FSTEC of Russia and fully complies with the requirements for "A" type operating systems of protection class 4 and trust level 4.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed an Environmental Tasks Complex for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system. The complex is designed for processing and analyzing data obtained from observation point networks as part of environmental monitoring. The program is installed as an add-on to GIS "Panorama" and allows for rapid assessment of the state of observed processes, phenomena, or events using the results of retrospective analysis of spatial data.

Monitoring measurements can be conducted at both stationary observation points and during field trips. During observation, multiple indicators are recorded simultaneously, allowing for comprehensive characterization of the monitoring object. A flexible settings system makes it possible to group indicators depending on the direction of observations, including monitoring of air pollution, water bodies, soil, subsoil conditions, biological resources, radiation situation, land, permafrost, production and consumption waste, coal dust content, wildlife objects, and other factors. To assess the state of the observation point network, visualization of their scheme is provided, where special symbols on a topographic map display the current status of each point.

Monitoring indicators are recorded using measuring instruments in the form of numerical values. For their calculation, including when assessing territorial changes in observed phenomena and processes, "Panorama Vision" can be used. For example, to determine the area of a flood zone resulting from high water, this product uses neural networks and artificial intelligence technology to interpret photographs (space, aerial, from UAVs) and recognize flood zone boundaries. "Panorama Vision" is a cloud platform solution that can quickly and effectively solve problems of object recognition in images as a digital service.

All monitoring indicators are linked to measurement time, which makes it possible to reconstruct their values at different points in the form of grid models (matrices). Before constructing such matrices, the data undergoes filtering and noise removal using mathematical statistics methods. To analyze changes, isolines and zones with the same indicator values (areas) are constructed.

Matrices, isoline maps, and areas linked to different points in time are combined into sets – time series data. Retrospective analysis tools for monitoring indicators provide joint display of time series matrices, isoline maps, area maps, and graphs of indicator changes at specified observation points. To record analysis results, the generation of reports and analytical summaries is provided.

The new version of the Environmental Tasks Complex for "Astra Linux Special Edition" is available in the Download section.
