KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.3.6 for "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS, "Alt Linux" OS, "RED OS" and Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04). The new version implements quality control modes for vector maps and absolute heights. Search capabilities have been expanded, including search by geoportals, addresses, and points on objects. Tools for loading coordinates from text formats have been added.

The "Vector Map Quality Control" task has been enhanced with the ability to control metric, topological, and semantic data. The task operates in two modes: data control (verification only) and data editing (saving corrections to map files). Basic checks include structural control (mandatory for all objects), sheet metadata control, and other customizable types. Users can flexibly manage control schemes through temporary settings files, saving or restoring standard parameters. Results are displayed in a protocol with the ability to view errors in the map editor and generate HTML reports. For convenience, object filters and options to interrupt verification when exceeding a specified number of errors are available. During operation, control schemes prepared in GIS "Panorama" for MS Windows can be used.

The "Absolute Heights Control" dialog is designed to verify vector map objects containing terrain elevation and hydrographic depth data, including checking the consistency of objects within closed contour lines. The system uses control schemes adapted for map classifiers of different scales, which are saved in an XML file with configuration options through a dialog. Users can specify the composition of objects to be checked, as well as elements that interrupt the height sequence (such as rivers or ravines). Control results are generated as a protocol with information about height discrepancies, digitization direction, and other parameters. The mode supports verification of contour lines, isobaths, and the presence of height marks, ensuring accuracy and correctness of spatial data.

The "Search Objects by Address" mode is designed for finding objects and intersections by address characteristics, such as street name, house number, building, or block. For intersection searches, semantics from the classifier containing street names are used, and searches can be performed based on either partial or exact name matches. Results are displayed in a table where you can select an object or intersection to navigate to it on the map. During the search process, intersections are displayed as conventional symbols on a separate map that is automatically created or added to the document. For additional information about an object, the "Show Object Information" mode is available. When search parameters are changed, the object selection updates automatically.

The "Search by Geoportal" mode allows address searches on various geoportals, including OpenStreetMap, the National Spatial Data System, as well as KB "Panorama" geoportals and others that support the OGC WFS standard. The mode provides search capabilities by cadastral number, address, and other parameters. The dialog box displays the geometry and semantics of found objects and highlights them on the map. To search for data, you need to select a geoportal, enter the information of interest in the search bar, and click the "Search" button. This mode simplifies working with geodata by providing a convenient tool for searching and visualizing objects.

The "Load Coordinates from Text File" mode is designed for importing data obtained from geodetic instruments from delimited text files (TXT, CSV, XYH, and others). Each line in the file corresponds to one spatial object, such as a picket point with coordinates (X, Y, H). The result of the program's operation is the creation of a map in SIT or SITX format. The dialog displays the source data (file path and its contents) and import settings. The user can specify the starting line for processing, choose a delimiter, set coordinate offsets (X, Y, H), and configure the composition of imported data by defining data types for each column (for example, X, Y, H, or semantics).

The "Find Point on Object Contour" task enables processing of linear and areal objects. After selecting an object in the dialog box, you need to specify the search distance. As a result of this mode, the section from the beginning of the object to the found point is highlighted on the map, allowing visual determination of the location of the desired point.

GIS "Panorama" is a universal domestic geographic information system. The program is designed for accumulation, storage, automated processing, and display of data, calculation results, and forecasts with geospatial reference. GIS "Panorama" contains tools for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks of modeling the movement of special objects against a 3D model background, forecasting the consequences of emergencies at hazardous facilities, monitoring aircraft movement, conducting geodetic and topographic work, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing displayed spatial data to various output devices, and many others.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" conducted a training seminar for employees of PPK "Roscadastre", aimed at improving qualifications in the field of comprehensive cadastral works (CCW). The event took place from March 19 to 20, 2025, in St. Petersburg with organizational support from the PPK "Roscadastre" branch in the Leningrad Region.

Seminar participants gained knowledge on the application of modern geoinformation technologies and photogrammetric methods in cadastral activities. Special attention was paid to working with aerial photography data obtained by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), which are actively used in comprehensive cadastral works across 17,500 cadastral quarters in 87 regions of Russia. Specialists mastered practical techniques for working with cadastral maps, including geographic referencing of materials, digitization of objects, filling attribute data, and documentation preparation. Issues of interaction with the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN) through the GIS "Panorama" were discussed in detail, including object search, obtaining attribute information, and generating reporting documents in accordance with current standards.

The training presented KB "Panorama's" advanced solutions for automating cadastral activities: the "Panorama Photo" software package for UAS data processing, the "PanoramaVision" system with automatic object recognition functions, and integration capabilities with the National Spatial Data System. To ensure a unified approach to creating and editing cadastral objects, the use of the digital classifier survey.v6, containing a specialized layer "Cadastral Territory Plan," was recommended. Additionally, seminar participants mastered procedures for generating electronic XML documents for submitting CCW results to the EGRN, taking into account regional specifics.

The training significantly improved the preparation level of "Roscadastre" specialists in the field of modern geoinformation technologies and their application in performing comprehensive cadastral works. The seminar curriculum can be viewed at the link.

KB "Panorama" has developed Imagery Service version 11.6.0. The new version features improved performance, enhanced cartographic data protection, and increased service administration convenience.

By implementing a thread pool, tile generation speed has doubled. Tile construction from object files has been improved, with support for multipolygon processing. When generating tiles, the geometric shape of an object is now considered rather than just its dimensions, which reduces the volume of tiles created. The data update algorithm has been optimized. It analyzes changes in the transaction log and parameters of the modified object: metrics and semantics. Semantics affecting the appearance and metrics of the object, as well as its geometric characteristics, are taken into account, which further reduces the volume of tiles created. New administration functions have been added: service log requests, service start and stop buttons. Password security in databases has been additionally strengthened – they are now stored in encoded form.

Imagery Service allows the formation of tiles in JPEG, PNG, PNG8, Mbtiles, BIR, GeoPackage, WebP, GeoJson formats according to the international standard OGC WMTS 07-057r7 version 1.0.0, TMS standard, and OGC 12-128r15 GeoPackage version 1.2.1. The tile data generated by the program is used by GIS WebServer SE and GIS WebService SE software products to ensure high-speed execution of requests for displaying spatial data over vast territories with simultaneous access by a large number of users. The new version of the program is available on the Download page.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.4.2. The new version enhances tools for working with attribute databases, building various types of zones around objects, expands operations on object lists, and improves terrain map design and publication preparation tools. The requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation dated 02/06/2025 No. 65 on the preparation of territorial planning documents have been implemented. Support for the QazTRF-23 coordinate system has been added. Cadastral and geodetic task complexes have been updated.

The program has improved the "View attributes from database" task, accessible via a button on the main panel. The ability to insert multiple data into table cells has been added. A mode for configuring and displaying subordinate tables has been added (additional button on the main task panel). Configured subordination rules are interpreted as a data source and opened in the standard way as a tab from the corresponding dropdown list in the main task window. When selecting a row in the main table, the subordinate table rows are automatically filtered according to the specified rules. The ability to confirm/cancel changes has been added. A status bar with information about the number of rows has been added. The data set opening dialog is divided into "tables" and "query" tabs with support for new connections. The new tools allow logically linking hierarchically connected attribute tables (object passports and other data) with any maps and complement the means of interactive editing of spatial databases in the form of vector maps through editing coordinates and semantics of objects that display table fields.

The "Map Calculations" task has been improved. When building zones around objects, multipolygons, multilines, and multipoint objects are automatically processed with the formation of common zones around object parts. For linear objects extending more than two zones in longitude (12 degrees), division into sections within two zones is performed. For each section, a zone is built on the ellipsoid with subsequent stitching into a common contour, which ensures accurate calculation of zone boundaries on the terrain. A more accurate zone construction algorithm is applied if the "Refine area and length" option is enabled in the "Parameters" menu.

In the "Object Lists" dialog, modes for merging and intersecting lists based on selection conditions have been added. These modes allow creating a resulting list from selected lists by adding selection conditions by localization, layers, classes, and objects. When merging lists, the new list contains all objects from the selected lists, and when intersecting - only common ones. The list tools allow sequential searching for list objects on the map and various overlay operations between lists, displaying lists in specified symbols, dynamically labeling selected object characteristics on the map, copying to other maps, and other operations.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Length and Distance" mode has been improved. Display of node point distances from the beginning of the measured route has been added. The ability to save measurements to the map for subsequent printing has been added. Changing the current map in the Map Editor parameters dialog box without interrupting the measurement process has been implemented. The "Create circle of arbitrary radius" mode has been improved. By selecting the creation mode on the auxiliary panel, pop-up menu, or hot key, the following is supported: creating an arc (sector) using three points, creating an ellipse with specified radius lengths, and creating a circle or ellipse with alignment by center or left edge. When creating new objects by entering geometry point coordinates from the keyboard, the ability to specify values in radians has been added. The "Map Processing by Script" task has been improved, with the "Delete Objects" procedure added. This type of processing allows deleting sets of objects. The composition of the set is formed in the Map Processing by Script - Parameter Settings dialog. Object deletion can be used, for example, when importing vector maps from SHP and MIF formats to build labels based on service objects - areas, contours, and label placement points. After building labels, service objects are deleted to avoid cluttering the created map.

The "Preparation for Publication" task has been improved. In the "Create frame design" mode for a double sheet of a 1:1,000,000 scale topographic map, the technology for forming the design of a double sheet corresponding to two zones has been implemented. The main difference in the design of such sheets is that the construction of kilometer grid outputs is performed along two axial meridians. Therefore, the construction of the frame design of a double sheet is performed using two single map sheets opened together. For construction, it is necessary to first create two single sheets of a 1:1,000,000 scale topographic map. Then, for each sheet, create mathematical basis objects: Tasks - Launch Applications - Automatic Object Creation - Create Mathematical Basis. Next, add the eastern sheet to the western sheet and perform the construction of the frame design with the "Entire area" checkbox enabled.

The "Automatic Label Placement" application task has been improved. Algorithms for placing curved labels along linear objects with the same semantic value (names of rivers, ponds) have been improved. Objects with the same name are stitched into a common contour. If the common contour closes, labeling is performed along the axial line formed by the closed contour. Typically, closed contours are formed along fragments of the shoreline. If the common contour is not closed, an additional check is performed for gaps in the shoreline contour at the mouth and places where branches of neighboring watercourse objects may adjoin. Found gaps are automatically eliminated, bringing the contour to a closed figure. This approach improves the quality of labeling watercourse objects using auxiliary contours (shorelines) when area watercourse objects do not contain attribute information about the name. To improve the quality of labeling background strips (multipolygons loaded from exchange formats SHP, MIF/MID), when setting parameters for labeling linear contours, the ability to enter the "Protrusion" parameter has been added. When entering the protrusion value (in mm on the map at the labeling scale), the axial line calculated for background strips is extended by the specified amount at the beginning and end of the line. This method allows increasing the baseline for label placement. The ability to choose the method of labeling closed contours of linear and area objects has been added: by contour or by axial line.

To prevent undesirable flipping of river labels, the ability to enter the permissible number of flipped characters directed from right to left (as a percentage) has been added.

The parameter lists of supported coordinate systems from the EPSG database have been updated. EPSG codes for GSK 2011 coordinate systems (20901 - 20960) have been added. Support has been added for the Kazakhstan Terrestrial Reference Frame 2023 (QazTRF-23) coordinate system and the Kazakhstan Vertical Reference Frame (QazVRF) height system. QazTRF-23 system parameters can be selected when creating maps from the crslist.xml file.

The GIS "Panorama" now includes a new edition of the digital classifier for creating territorial planning schemes terrplan.v9.rscz and the schema fgistp-10-izm-65.v9.xsd. These were created according to the order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation dated 06.02.2025 No. 65 "On Amendments to the Requirements for the Description and Display in Territorial Planning Documents of Federal, Regional, and Local Significance Objects, approved by the order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated January 9, 2018 No. 10". Changes have been made to 10 classifier layers, 36 objects and 21 semantics have been added.

The "Export to Mbtiles Tile Pyramid" task, called from the File menu, has been improved. The speed of tile creation has been increased through the implementation of a thread pool and optimization of data processing, taking into account the number of cores and available RAM.

In the "Cadastral Tasks" complex, the "Territory Map-Plan" mode has been improved. The formation of the Act of Coordination of Land Plot Boundaries during comprehensive cadastral works (hereinafter - the Coordination Act) has been implemented. The document is created in DOCX format according to the form established by Appendix No. 3 to the Rosreestr order dated August 4, 2021 No. P/0337. An intelligent algorithm for finding adjacent land plots has been developed, taking into account common boundaries by segments or individual points (for example, a boundary at the corner of a plot).

When forming the XML document "Territory Map-Plan", the order of recording attributes of characteristic points has been corrected, and the recording of additional information about cartographic materials used in the preparation of the territory map-plan has been added. To support the formation of an XML document according to version 01 schema, the "Specified Real Estate Objects" node has been added to the data tree of the "Territory Map-Plan" dialog. The "State Real Estate Cadastre Information" mode has been improved. When displaying the received cadastral information shown in the "Cadastral Object Attributes" dialog, on the "Basic Information" tab, the ability to call a context menu for copying data has been added. A function for saving cadastral information received from the unified state register of real estate in TXF format has been added.

The "Land Survey Plan" mode has been improved. When forming the Boundary Coordination Act, the ability to select a processing option for common boundary sections has been added: by nodal points of adjacent land plots or by all characteristic boundary points. Processing of formed contours of a land plot has been added when forming an XML document for boundary clarification, regarding information about adjacent land plots. The "Cadastral Object Attributes" mode has been improved. For real estate objects, processing of semantics has been added: exterior wall material - DIFFERENTWALL, century (period) of construction - CONSTRUCTION_PERIOD, number of underground floors - BASELEMENT. For cadastral division objects, processing of the proper name semantics - NAME_9 has been added.

The "Cadastral Works Database" mode has been improved.

On the "Customers" and "Contractors" tabs, a "Type" column has been added, which indicates one of the options: "individual", "legal entity", "government authority". In the cadastral works database, a field for storing the number of the local coordinate system zone has been added to the general information table. The version of the cadastral works database has been changed to 7.2.

In the "Geodetic Editor" task, for the modes "Creating an object scheme and filling out a report" and "Filling out a report for an object", the formation of new report forms has been implemented: Land Plot Boundary Coordination Act, Cadastral Passport of a Land Plot, Land Plot Drawing, Overview Plan of Land Plots Location, Scheme of Geodetic Network Points Location. When filling out reports, DOCX format templates are used. In the report generation wizard, processing of the new ROW08 marker has been added. The marker is used in the table to insert rows based on the object's metrics, including NT X Y Z. To obtain information about the point height, not only the third coordinate of the metric is used, but also the semantics of the point object with the ABS_HEIGHT key. For filling out the "Scheme of Geodetic Network Points Location" report, processing of selected point objects - geodetic network points - has been implemented. For filling out the "Land Plot Boundary Coordination Act" report, processing of the new ROW09 marker has been implemented. The marker is used in the table to insert rows with information about adjacent boundaries, including the designation of the boundary segment and the names of the adjacent land plot owner. To fill in the marker, a search for adjacent land plots is performed. The "Report Settings" dialog has been improved. The ability to get the name of a characteristic boundary point from the semantics of a point object - boundary marker - has been implemented. The ability to disable the numbering of plot points has been added. The ability to enter a postfix for turning points has been added. The order of labeling object points has been changed - the points of the plot and internal objects are labeled using the same algorithm.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS WebService SE version 15.12.0. The new version implements a mechanism for accessing and displaying retrospective data. Users can visualize layer objects for a specific date or for a particular time interval. Data sources, both archival and current, can be databases or maps. The criterion for building a retrospective is the presence of semantics for objects or fields in tables containing the date/time of initial and final states. The storage format for date/time data must comply with the ISO8601 standard. Current data can be stored in one table, while archival data in another. In the database, a connection is established between the current state table and the archive table. When an object in the current table is modified, it is automatically transferred to the archive data table, where it is assigned an end date of existence.

The new capabilities allow analyzing the development of territories, the construction process, road and utility line construction. The service can process historical topographic maps, analyze changes in nature management and the physical-geographical state of territories, and much more. For working with retrospective data, the following queries have been added: obtaining a list of layers with archival data; querying the range of available archival dates; building a retrospective layer for a specified time period.

The new version has improved security for storing service operation parameters and its interaction with other services or databases. The algorithm for building buffer zones for objects with a length of more than 18 degrees has been optimized. The ability to sort response results by semantics, object name, layer name in direct and reverse alphabetical order has been added.

GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS, WPS), which are used for the transmission and display of spatial data. The program implements the ability to issue tiles for any custom or local coordinate system. The application is developed for MS Windows and Linux platforms and is compatible with Apache, IIS, and nginx web servers.

The new version of the program and documentation are available on the website in the Download section.
