    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of agronomist" version 15.1.2 has been developed. In the new version, the "Satellite-based field recognition" mode has been updated, the "Lists of objects" dialog and the "Map Legend" task have been improved. The integrated application of the "Workstation of agronomist" modes implements automated technology for maintaining a land bank and soil fertility base.

    The updated mode "Satellite-based field recognition" ensures recognition of the boundaries of agricultural land contours based on Earth's remote sensing data. The program interacts with the Mapflow.ai service and, using a neural network, automatically deciphers and delineates the boundaries of working areas of arable land. The new version changes the user authorization protocol for the service, including the use of tokens issued in the user’s personal account. Information processing is performed in a local area limited by the polygon indicated on the map. The construction area can be specified by a rectangle or an arbitrary closed polygon. The construction of a vector model of working areas of arable land is carried out on the basis of automatically selected current remote sensing data of medium (10 m/px) and high resolution (1.2 m/px). In the new version a recognition of fields boundaries from Sentinel-2 images has been added. The vector data constructed by means of service is automatically loaded into the GIS "Panorama" from GeoJSON format onto a map of the working areas of the agricultural enterprise. The field map is used to maintain field passports, construct thematic cartograms, obtain vegetation indices, maps of heterogeneity and nitrogen requirements, calculate the application of fertilizer doses and other agrotechnical calculations.

    In the process of maintaining a land bank for an agricultural enterprise, the boundaries of field contours are often compared with the boundaries of cadastral objects. Determination of intersections and overlaps is performed using the "Object intersection calculation" mode. For clarity of the results of the analysis of the relative position of various groups of objects in the form of thematic layers, the "Lists of objects" dialog has been improved. Possibility of displaying list of objects by style (conventional symbol) customized by the user has been added. In the "Lists of objects" dialog, custom styles are automatically formed for the selected lists of objects. Custom styles for displaying lists of objects are a set of conventional symbols for polygons, lines and points. Style sets can be combined into themes. New features allow you to quickly add lists by selected objects on the map and perform tasks with lists: Building a zone around objects of the selected list, Cutting objects, Union of objects, Building the areas of objects crossing.

    The application task "Map Legend" has been improved. Display of named lists of objects in the legend dialog has been added. Enabling and disabling the visibility of object lists is done by simply clicking the left mouse button on the icon corresponding to the list. On the map, lists of objects are displayed as separate thematic layers in accordance with user-customized legends. The composition and order of display of thematic layers in the general data list is controlled by enabling and disabling the visibility of the list of objects in the bottom panel. The convenience of designing the appearance of thematic layers has been improved: assigning a style and color to the list of objects has been added. Simple addition of selected objects into the list with automatic formation of names has been implemented.

  • "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.

    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.

  • 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.
