KB "Panorama" has developed Professional Vectorizer "Panorama-Editor" version 15.4.3. A new task "Automatic Image Recognition" has been added to the program. The list of connectable geoportals with PBF format support has been expanded. Map editing tools and dynamic label construction for object characteristics have been enhanced.

The "Automatic Image Recognition" task serves as a client for connecting to the automatic recognition and vectorization service "Panorama Vision". Recognition of agricultural field contours, hydrographic objects (rivers, lakes, seas, ponds), buildings and structures, paved and unpaved roads is available. In "City" recognition mode, joint interpretation of road networks and buildings in images is performed. This mode provides recognition of paved and unpaved roads in images and allows classification of buildings into several subtypes: residential buildings (multi-story and individual residential buildings), public buildings (schools, kindergartens, hospitals and others), industrial and commercial buildings (factories, shopping centers and others), garages (garage construction cooperatives). Recognized buildings in "City" mode are oriented along the direction of the nearest roads.

The geoportal connection task has been improved. Support for user authorization through the Keycloak identity broker has been added. This enables implementation of single sign-on technology for connecting geoportals and services. The ability to connect to various geoportals that transmit data in PBF (Protocol Buffer Binary Format) has been implemented. PBF is a compressed binary format created for storing and transmitting cartographic data. Support for connecting to new geoportal layers has been added: ESRI - Sentinel-2, Agriculture, Infrared, Short-wave Infrared, Geology, Bathymetric; NDVI Color Map, Normalized Burn Index, Accumulation Index, NDVI Colored, Custom SAVI; NDWI Raw, NDVI Raw; Operational Information Support System for the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia (SOOI Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia) - Base Map; Thermal points in specially protected natural areas, Thermal points Russia 24 hours, Boundaries of specially protected natural areas of federal significance (OGRN_2024), Fire hazard, Ships in specially protected natural areas; Federal Forestry Agency - Forest fund condition, Information portal GISOGD of Chelyabinsk region - Base map, Geoinformation subsystem FGIS TP.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Length and Distance" mode has been improved. Display of nodal 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. Switching the current map in the "Map Editor" parameters dialog without interrupting the measurement process has been implemented. The "Create Circle of Arbitrary Radius" mode has been improved. Through mode selection on the auxiliary panel, popup menu or hotkey, the following is supported: creating an arc (sector) by three points, creating an ellipse with specified radius lengths, and creating a circle or ellipse with center or left edge snapping. The ability to specify values in radians when creating new objects by entering geometry point coordinates from the keyboard has been added.

The "Map Processing by Scenario" task has been improved, and the "Object Deletion" procedure has been added. This type of processing allows deletion of object sets. Formation of the set composition is performed in the "Map Processing by Scenario" dialog. Object deletion can be applied, for example, when importing vector maps from SHP and MIF formats to build labels for service objects - areas, contours, and label placement points. After building labels, service objects are deleted to avoid cluttering the created map. In the "Point Object Creation" mode, the ability to create multi-point objects has been added. When pressing the spacebar, the next point is recorded in the object; when pressing the left mouse button, the formed multi-point object is saved.

On the "Cutting and Stitching" panel, the "Create Polygon by Boundaries of Surrounding Contours" mode has been updated. This mode provides creation of a multipolygon formed by boundaries of adjacent polygon contours and closed linear objects within a specified closed contour or selected object. If you press the "Ctrl" key and left mouse button over some area or closed linear object, multipolygon construction will be based on the base contour for which the specified point will be internal. If the specified point is inside several contours, an intersection of all such contours will be built. Contours for which the point is outside will cut intersection areas from the base contour to create a contour around the point based on adjacent boundaries. If you press the "Ctrl" key and left mouse button over an empty area, a rectangular contour sized 3/4 of the current map window centered at the selected point will be chosen as the base contour. If several empty map areas fall within the specified region, only one object encompassing the selected point will be created. In the "Length and Distance" mode, display of distance values from the object's beginning and the ability to save measurements to the map as objects have been added.

A "Copy Point Coordinates" item has been added to the right-click context menu. When selecting this menu item or pressing the "Ctrl+Alt+C" combination, the current point coordinates on the map are copied to the clipboard as a string of numbers separated by spaces. Units of measurement and coordinate values correspond to those set in the coordinate display line. Degrees and radians are recorded as decimal numbers with fractional parts.

The dynamic labeling mode for object lists has been improved. This mode allows placing labels over the map considering the current map display composition and object visibility. When scrolling the map image, labels automatically shift so that their text falls entirely within the window's client area. Algorithms for finding free space in the display area when labeling linear objects have been improved. Support for applying dynamic labels considering label alignment attributes has been added. Label alignment attributes (top, center, or bottom line) can be set when configuring label style parameters in the "Label Parameters" dialog.

When selecting the "Automatically place above or below line" checkbox and there's no free space for a label placed above the line by default, an attempt is made to place it below the line. Conversely, for labels placed below the line, an attempt is made to place them above the line. When entering the "Line length for label wrapping" parameter, wrapping is performed for labels consisting of multiple words.

The recommended average line length is 12 characters. Wrapping is performed without breaking words. Therefore, when entering a length equal to one character, a multi-line label will consist of lines with one word each. When entering zero length, label wrapping is not performed. Entering minimum and maximum distances between repeating labels of a linear contour allows for improved label placement on long contours.

In the "Geodetic Editor" task, a new dialog "Import Data from CSV, TXT, XYH" has been developed, providing reading of delimited text files and plotting information on the map. When calling the "Label Segment Length" dialog, coordinates of the current point on the map are passed to determine the nearest side of the object. When constructing a secant line in the "Parallel Constructions" dialog, selection of a point on the perpendicular to the left or right of the selected segment has been implemented, taking into account the digitization direction.

In the "Object Lists" dialog, modes for union and intersection of lists by selection conditions have been added. These modes allow creating a resulting list from selected lists by combining selection conditions by localizations, layers, classes, and objects. When uniting lists, the new list contains all objects from the selected lists, while intersection contains only common ones. List management tools allow performing sequential search of list objects on the map and various overlay operations between lists, displaying lists in specified conventional signs, dynamically labeling selected object characteristics on the map, copying to other maps, and other operations.

When displaying labels that have service semantics "Sign rotation angle (in degrees)" with code 31017, the label is oriented according to the value specified in the semantics. When rotated, the label is aligned to the center and middle line relative to the metric point.

In the "Classifier Editor" task, for semantics of "Numerical Formula" type, the keyword "H1" has been added for use in calculations or in automated formation of label texts for height values of the object's first point.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS Server version 11.2.4. The new version adds the capability to transmit server performance metrics in a format compatible with the Prometheus monitoring system. For this purpose, a Prometheus Exporter written in Python has been included in the GIS Server package. This extension allows administrators to monitor the status and performance of geographic information system server infrastructure in real time. Among the available metrics are: analysis of GIS Server readiness to receive messages, operability checks, and license availability. The metrics are provided through an HTTP interface in a format that meets Prometheus requirements. This ensures quick and simple integration with existing monitoring and visualization systems, such as Grafana. This capability is particularly relevant for organizations using GIS Server in distributed and high-load environments, where it is important to promptly ensure stable and secure service operation.

GIS Server provides remote multi-user access to vector maps, remote sensing data, and spatial databases for desktop products and web services. Hosting data on the server ensures protection of data from illegal viewing, copying, modification, and printing.

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

Within the framework of the International Exhibition "Interexpo GEO-Siberia 2025", KB "Panorama" specialists presented advanced domestic developments in geographic information systems and cartographic technologies to Governor Andrey Alexandrovich Travnikov. The forum brought together more than 3,000 specialists from Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Mongolia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria.

The Governor noted that new forms and volumes of geodata, as well as technologies for their processing and use, have changed our lives. "The potential for using this combination of information and technologies has not yet been exhausted, and therefore it is very correct and relevant that this year's forum is held under the slogan 'Spatial Data Economy.' There is still much work ahead on updating and filling these spatial data, on implementing and using new technologies in various spheres of our life and activity," Andrey Travnikov addressed the participants.

Within the framework of the scientific congress, KB "Panorama" specialists presented a report on "Geospatial Foundation for Geographic Information Systems of Various Purposes" where new capabilities of the "Panorama Vision" complex for automated recognition of urban infrastructure objects were examined. Source data can be obtained using the "Panorama Photo" program, which is designed for processing digital terrain information from aerial photography materials using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or aircraft.

The forum featured 10 international and 4 national conferences with more than 500 presentations. Our experts shared experience in applying innovative solutions, discussed possibilities for their use in various industries - from construction to environmental monitoring, and outlined prospects for further technology development.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.14 for the domestic mobile OS Aurora. The new version adds the ability to select, group move, and delete objects, which speeds up data processing and simplifies map editing directly in field conditions. Support for various digital map formats, as well as access to popular geoportals, allows for quick updating of spatial information and supplementing maps with new objects. The mobile application provides convenient tools for working with geodata through integration with desktop GIS "Panorama" products and advanced spatial information processing functions. Users can prepare a set of cartographic data in advance in the desktop system and transfer it to the mobile GIS, where offline work is available, including displaying current location, recording tracks, and viewing current data without an Internet connection.

Object selection can be performed in several ways: by search conditions, by area, or arbitrarily. Object selection by search conditions allows visual assessment of the presence and quantity of objects meeting specified conditions. A condition can be considered as an object's belonging to a localization, layer, or object type, as well as the presence of certain semantic characteristics in the map object. Area selection enables marking objects that fall within a specified figure on the map. Arbitrary object selection allows managing the list of selected objects one by one: you can include or exclude an object from the list, analyzing search results or selecting objects on the map by touch.

Aurora OS is a Russian mobile operating system developed by "Open Mobile Platform" company. The operating system is created for building trusted mobile infrastructure, protecting sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium commercial companies. It contributes to ensuring the state's technological sovereignty through a protected mobile environment and meets all regulatory requirements in the field of national security and information protection. Aurora OS allows centralized management of mobile device fleets and applied mobile software when using Aurora Center. The current version of Aurora mobile OS has passed FSTEC Russia certification and fully complies with requirements for "A" type operating systems of 4th protection class and 4th trust level.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Operator" version 15.3.7 for "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS. The new version expands the functional capabilities of modes in map editor tasks and map calculations. Tasks for working with object lists, viewing attributes from databases, and exporting tiles have been enhanced. Support for executing scripts for different Python versions, map and matrix conversion has been implemented. Coordinate systems have been updated and additional restrictions on data handling in GIS Server have been introduced.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Length and Distance" mode has been improved, adding display of nodal point distances from the beginning of the measured route. The ability to save measurements to the map for subsequent printing has been implemented. Changing the current map in the parameter dialog box can now be performed without interrupting the measurement process. The "Creating Circle of Arbitrary Radius" mode has been improved. Through mode selection on the auxiliary panel, pop-up menu, or hotkey, the following is supported: creating an arc (sector) by three points, creating an ellipse with specified radius lengths, and creating a circle or ellipse with center or left edge alignment. The ability to specify values in radians when creating new objects by entering geometry point coordinates from the keyboard has been added. In "Length and Distance" mode, display of distance values from the object's beginning and the ability to save measurements to the map as objects have been added.

The "Map Calculations" mode has been improved. When building zones around objects, multipolygons, multilines, and multipoint objects are automatically processed with formation of common zones around object parts. For linear objects having longitude extent of more than two zones (12 degrees), division into sections within two zones is performed. Zone construction on the ellipsoid is performed for each section with subsequent stitching into a common contour, ensuring accurate calculation of zone boundaries on the terrain. A more precise zone construction algorithm is applied if the "Refine area and length" item is enabled in the "Parameters" menu. The "Find Point on Object" mode has been improved. The ability to search for one point or a section between two points specified by distances from the object's beginning with section display parameter settings has been added.

In the "Object Lists" dialog, modes for combining and intersecting lists by selection conditions have been added. These modes allow creating a resulting list from selected lists by adding selection conditions for localizations, layers, classes, and objects. A mode for joint display of thematic layer and object list labeling has been added. This mode allows simultaneously highlighting list objects thematically and labeling them by selected semantics. "Copy Object View to Buffer" and "Paste Object View from Buffer" modes have been added. Object view copying is performed for both all localizations and for one. To do this, right-click on the object view and select the "Copy Object View to Buffer" menu item. The object's graphic description can also be copied in the "Object Selection" dialog.

The dynamic labeling mode for object lists has been improved.

Labels now automatically take into account the current visibility of objects on the map and move within the window during scrolling to remain fully visible. Label placement algorithms for linear objects have been improved, including consideration of alignment along the top, center, or bottom line as specified in the label style parameters. The ability to automatically move labels below or above the line has been added if there is no space for placement in the original position. Transfer of long labels to multiple lines without word breaking has been implemented - with the ability to set line length. The possibility to set minimum and maximum distances between repeating labels on long linear objects for more uniform placement has been added.

In the "View Attributes from Database" task, the ability to perform multiple data insertion into table cells has been added. A mode for configuring and displaying subordinate tables has been implemented (additional button on the main task panel). Configured subordination rules are treated as a data source and opened in the standard way as a tab from the corresponding dropdown list of the main task window. When selecting a row in the main table, rows in the subordinate table are automatically filtered according to 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 dataset opening dialog has been divided into "tables" and "query" tabs with support for new connections.

The "Export to mbtiles Tile Pyramid" task 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.

Support for various versions of Python interpreters for writing scripts executed from the "Run Applications" dialog in the "Scripts" tab or through assigned buttons on user panels has been added. If multiple Python versions are installed on the computer, the active version is selected through the main menu "Parameters - Data Placement" in the "Path to Python Interpreter" field. A script "Editing Coordinate List in Tabular View" has been added to the basic script set to demonstrate writing scripts that call standard GIS dialogs.

In the main menu "Tasks - Coordinate Systems", items "Standard Raster Transformation" and "Standard Matrix Transformation" have been added to the "Standard Map Transformation" item. When selecting the menu item, a dialog is called for transforming a map, image, elevation matrix, or quality matrix from the source coordinate system to the specified one. Output system parameters can be set by EPSG code, read from the coordinate systems list in XML, or from selected data files according to their format.

A "Label View" item has been added to the main "View" menu, allowing you to set one of two label display modes: "Quality" or "Simplified". When quality mode is enabled, precise calculation of label elements is performed, which allows displaying labels in accordance with font rendering requirements on topographic maps. When using quality mode, more computational resources are required to display labels on screen. If precise font compliance with topographic map symbol requirements is not necessary when displaying the map on screen, fast label output in simplified mode can be used.

The "Data List" dialog has been improved. For vector maps, context menu commands for managing editing attributes, copying, changing object composition, passport data, exporting and deleting data have been added. For rasters and matrices, context menu commands for data binding have been expanded.

The "Object Selection" dialog has been improved. On the "Metrics" tab, a context menu has been added with modes: multi-object attribute management, object closure, digitization direction change, first selected point setting, multi-scale object creation, assigning the selected contour as main, sub-object deletion (one or all), object and metrics update, object saving, coordinate saving in EPSG:3857, coordinate and metadata saving, as well as commands for working with metric points: copying, pasting and deleting the current point.

In the map object search/display dialog on the "Measurements" tab, the ability to select measurement units when specifying conditions has been added: meters, kilometers or millimeters on the map.

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 for the Kazakhstan Terrestrial Reference Frame 2023 (QazTRF-23) coordinate system and the Kazakhstan Vertical Reference Frame (QazVRF) height system has been added. QazTRF-23 system parameters can be selected when creating maps from the crslist.xml file.

The list of restrictions for users on managing data opened from GIS Server has been expanded: restrictions can be set on copying (export to other formats, transferring objects to other maps), printing, viewing coordinate system parameters, editing coordinates, storing copies of edited objects, accessing cache on the client without registration on GIS Server, editing the RSC digital classifier and others. Restrictions are set by the program administrator through the web interface and saved in GIS Server settings. The prohibition on coordinate editing allows changing only attribute data of map objects (semantics) without changing coordinates or coordinate system parameters in the map passport (metadata).
