• "Workstation of agronomist" forms reports on crossing the borders of arable land with cadastral objects of complex geometry

    07.06.2023

    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of agronomist" version 14.5.7 has been developed. In the program for performing an analysis of the relative position of the contours of agricultural land used for farming, and the boundaries of land plots registered in the cadastre, a number of modes have been improved. Objects of the account, both an arable land, and cadastral objects, are often represented on the map by a multipolygon. For the analysis of complex geometry, the modes "Object intersection calculation", "View object intersection" and "Object intersection control" have been improved. The new version of the program analyzes intersections with all external and internal contours. In the modes dialogs, the names of the elements have been changed to more accurately characterize the process of calculating the relative position of objects. In the "Object intersection calculation" mode, the recording of semantics in objects from list 2 has been optimized. In the "View object intersection" mode, the algorithm for calculating the total area and percentage of intersection for objects in list 2 has been improved.

    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. There are added the layers from the server of KB "Panorama" and the geoportal of the RGIS of the Ryazan region with many layers of data, including industry data: Agricultural land, Forest-park green belt, regional protected areas, nature management, industrial enterprises and others. There is improved the algorithm for scaling images from geoportals with exceeding the virtual sizes of the image in width and height of 2 Gigapixels or more, which is necessary when detailing the image at a scale larger than 1: 100.

    The "Map Editor" task has been improved in terms of auxiliary modes for editing points. When editing points of an areal object, pressing the "Q" key disables a sign of a rectangle or if this sign is absent, brings the object to a rectangular shape (straightens the corners). Function of quick recording of the edited object by pressing the "hot" key "S" has been added. In the dialog for selecting the created object for the "Create object" mode, there is added a support for the class hierarchy, presented as a tree of layers/classes. The selection of objects is carried out taking into account localizations, layers and classes. The list of selected objects is presented in the form of the table which contains the information about localization, a code, a key, a name and a class of objects. The search by all objects of the classifier has been improved with the ability to filter the table by individual localizations. In the mode of searching by selected objects, all used localizations are set, and when moving in the table of objects, a class is indicated in the tree of layers/classes.

  • In a GIS "Panorama AGRO" a work with large amounts of data in the register of field passports has been optimised

    02.03.2023

    In KB "Panorama" is developed the GIS "Panorama AGRO" version 5.3. The program is adapted for work with the vector, raster and matrix data, created by GIS "Panorama" version 14. The new version of the program optimizes the construction of a hierarchical data tree of field passports and a switching between elements in the list of working arable land plots. The performance of processing and displaying information has been improved with a large (tens of thousands) number of records in the field passport database. Support of providers of access to the attributive data has been expanded and their loading at the time of program start has been accelerated. The help system has been updated and translated into a web-format. The tools for statistical data analysis and designing of farmland maps are built-in.

    The new version supports tools of statistical data analysis. A type of programmable signs has been added into the agro10t.rsc classifier for displaying diagrams by semantics of objects. The diagram description includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors and/or columns of the diagram. Semantics are filled for a contour of an agricultural land. For example, requirement for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, acidity degree, humus content and others. The diagrams are updated automatically when the values of the characteristics of the work area change. Diagrams, together with the change in the color of the working area, can be used to visualize the state of agricultural land.

    Support of service semantics influencing the size and color of a conventional sign, taking into account type of objects has been added. For example, for titles, in addition to the color, font type and height are available. By changing the values of the semantics of an object through the "Select Object" dialog, you can give individual features to the conventional signs of various objects, for example, change the color of the line or the background color of the polygon.

    The licensing mechanism has been updated. Into the "About" window the information on the licence was added: number, type and expiration date of the license, as well as the expiration date of technical support.

    GIS "Panorama AGRO" is designed to automate the management of the farming system of enterprises. The system allows you to create and edit the boundaries and attributes of agricultural land, plan agrotechnical activities, prepare tasks for drivers and machine operators, calculate indicators of actual performed works, and generate relevant reports.

    In addition to the GIS "Panorama AGRO", the range of programs for agriculture includes "Workstation of agronomist" and GIS WebServer AGRO. Professional GIS "Panorama" is intended for preparing cartographic data. Storage, protection and authorized access are provided by the GIS Server. Programs are fully compatible at the level of data. This allows you to create scalable systems of any complexity at the corporate, regional and federal levels.

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


  • GIS WebServer AGRO is presented in Kursk at the inter-regional forum devoted to transition to domestic services in digital economy

    29.06.2022

    KB "Panorama" together with JSC Megaphone have presented GIS WebServer AGRO on a round table "Import substitution. Transition to domestic services in digital economy",which took place on June, 25th, 2022 as part of the Kursk Korenskaya fair.

    The event was chaired by the Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus K.K. Shulgan and Deputy Governor of the Kursk region O.A. Krutko. Representatives of the regional administration and leading enterprises of the Russian IT industry discussed the introduction of digital services for agricultural producers and issues of their import substitution.

    GIS WebServer AGRO consists of a number of software modules that together allow you to build complex distributed and scalable information systems at the level of regional government that ensure the maintenance of the land bank of the region. The cartographic database operates under the control of the GIS Server, the publication of spatial information on the web is carried out using GIS WebService SE.

    The application is designed to process information about agricultural lands and accounting objects of agricultural enterprises, including arable land characteristics, crop rotation information, cadastral data, data of vehicle monitoring, agrochemical calculations of mineral fertilizer doses, and others.

    Among other things, it has been reported about successful application of GIS WebServer AGRO as the basic component of the module of accounting the agricultural land of the regional geoinformation system of the Ryazan region.

    You can get acquainted with an example of the work of GIS WebServer AGRO on the page of the "Agroportal" demonstration project.


  • In GIS WebServer AGRO the State catalog of pesticides and agrochemicals approved for use on the territory of the Russian Federation is built-in

    17.05.2022

    In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer AGRO version 3.1 has been developed. The new version adds the ability to keep records of the processing the fields with plant protection products (PPP) with use of the information from the unified directory of pesticides and agrochemicals. For each field, a list of plant protection products is formed, taking into account the order of application, date and type of processing (ground or from air) of plants.

    The unified reference book is filled with information from the State catalog of pesticides and agrochemicals approved for use on the territory of the Russian Federation and contains the name of the active substance, the hazard class for humans, and the hazard class for bees in the field conditions. One of the main reasons for the death of bees in many countries of the world, including Russia, is the steady increase in the use of pesticides in agriculture. According to the appraisal of management of the Russian Union of Producers of Chemical Plant Protection Products (PPPs), recently the volume of pesticide use in Russia has increased annually by 6-8% and this trend will continue for a long time. The list of pesticides and agrochemicals registered in Russia includes more than a thousand items. However, today no one knows exactly what preparations and in what quantities are applied by agricultural producers. The use of a unified directory of pesticides and agrochemicals makes it possible to unify the calculation of the danger of using plant protection products for people and bees.

    In new version of GIS WebServer AGRO the possibility of work with projects has been expanded that allows to set automatically project's settings (current organization and crop year). There are added a loading and selection of multipoint objects in the map, the ability to create and edit objects of the "Polygon with a point" type. "Map Editor" and administration module have been updated.

    Synchronisation of the cartographical information described in base "Panorama АГРО" and the information published in GIS WebService SE, is carried out automatically.

    For collective work with the data the digital maps of farmland and an enterprise infrastructure are placed on the GIS Server. Its application allows you to synchronize the work of the desktop "Panorama AGRO", web applications and mobile clients. Desktop applications such as GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of agronomist" and others can be connected to the GIS Server. It allows the mobile clients working through web, to process the same data together with desktop clients. You can get acquainted with an example of the work of GIS WebServer AGRO on the page of the "Agroportal" demonstration project.

    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.


  • In "Workstation of agronomist" the tools of statistical analysis of soil fertility of farmland have been improved

    09.02.2022

    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of agronomist" version 14.2.0 has been developed. In the new version there are updated the tools of statistical analysis of data, designing of farmland maps, preparation of remote sensing data, the reports printing.

    In the program the new view of programmed symbols for display of diagrams by semantics of objects has been added. The description of the diagram includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to the sectors of the diagram. The semantics are filled at the areal object - the contour of the agricultural land. For example, yield (t/ha), volume of applied fertilizers (t/ha), amount of applied plant protection products (t/ha), spent fuel and lubricants (l/ha) and others. The diagrams are updated automatically when the semantic values of the arable land's contour change. Diagrams in combination with changing the color of the field contour can be used to monitor the state of agricultural land.

    When setting up diagrams for each semantics its own parametres of displaying sector (color of filling, contour color, filling by hatching, and others) are set. For the entire diagram, the parameters of the contour line and the size of the diagram radius in mm are set. The sector size will correspond to the share of the value of the semantics in the sum of values of all semantics. Diagram parameters, including scalability and limits for zooming in and out, are customized in the map classifier. To prepare a map for the purpose of monitoring information about agricultural lands using diagrams, the task "Creation of titles by objects semantics" has been added. In the "Combined text" mode, the task carries out drawing of titles onto a map in the center of areal objects. Further, the title are recoded into a point object "Diagram". At the same time, logical links are formed for areal (field contour) and point (diagram) objects that provide automatic updating of diagrams when updating the semantics of areal objects.

    The task "Import of raster data" has been improved. Import of rasters of format MrSID (SID, JPEG2000, NTF, ECW) has been added. The MrSID format is used to compress raster graphics. By means of this format, packed huge raster images such as aerial photography and satellite photos can be quickly viewed piecemeal without the need to unpack the entire file.

    The "Map print" task has been improved. Ability has been added to page-by-page save the printed areas to JPG, PNG, TIF and PDF graphic files. When saving in JPG, PNG, TIF formats the number of files corresponding to the number of selected pages is formed. The file name contains file name and page number, for example, noginsk_1.jpg. When saving to PDF, it is generated one multi-page document.

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