2025: "Panorama Vision" version 1.2.0 with automatic road decryption on satellite imagery

Panorama Design Bureau has developed the Panorama Vision automatic recognition and vectorization service version 1.2.0. The developer announced this on February 19, 2025. The program has added the ability to automatically decrypt roads on satellite images. This neural network model provides recognition of asphalt and dirt roads in images of the area with a spatial resolution of 0.6 m/pixel. Satellite images of cities of the Russian Federation were used to train the model.

In the decryption process, semantic segmentation of roads in the image is performed at the first stage, a raster mask is formed containing marked areas related to the road network. At the second stage, the service highlights the central road lines on the resulting mask and vectorizes road objects. During vectorization, roads are automatically "reached" to intersections with each other within the established tolerance by distance (up to 100 m). To create a vector map, use the map5000m.rscz classifier. Asphalt roads are mapped as "Highway" linear objects with code 61230000 and dirt roads as "Street" linear objects with code 45200000.

The road network map generated by the service is ready for integration into GIS. After loading the map into the Panorama GIS, the following operations become available: building a route between two points, creating an optimal route when visiting many points, building a distance graph. To perform these operations, you must start the Road Graph Editor task from the Launch Applications mode.

With the help of the Panorama Vision service, the formation of a road network map for an area of ​ ​ 25 square kilometers takes no more than 15 minutes. In addition to road recognition, the Panorama Vision service allows you to recognize the contours of agricultural fields, hydrographic objects (rivers, ponds, lakes and others), buildings and structures. The service is located on the Internet on the servers of Panorama KB. Access to the service is carried out from the list of application tasks of the Panorama GIS: Launching applications - item Automatic creation of objects.

"Panorama Vision" version 1.1.1 with improved accuracy of decryption of contours of buildings and agricultural plots

Panorama Design Bureau has developed the Panorama Vision automatic recognition and vectorization service version 1.1.1. This version improves the accuracy of decrypting the contours of buildings and agricultural plots. The developer announced this on December 19, 2024.

In the complex integrated neural network is a model optimized for recognition of building contours terrain images with a spatial resolution of 0.1-0.3 m/pixel. This model improves the quality of recognition of buildings on orthophotoplanes formed by the Panorama Photo program based on the results of processing aerial photography materials. The joint use of the Panorama Photo and Panorama Vision software products allows you to automate the process of obtaining ready-made geodata as much as possible. These include orthofuels, altitude matrices, and vector maps formed to data from unmanned aerial vehicles () UAV satellite and images. In addition, the Panorama Vision complex has finalized the definition of building contours on satellite images with a spatial resolution of 0.75 m/pixel and below. For all categories of images, when forming a vector map, the algorithms for separating buildings located close to each other have been improved. When decrypting the boundaries of agricultural land, automatic "reaching" the contours of land to a rectangular shape was added. When creating a vector map, objects of agricultural land, hydrography and buildings are formed using a single classifier map5000m.rscz. To form agricultural land objects, the Arable Land object with code 71324100 is used, hydrography - the Reservoir object with code 31120002, and for buildings - the Residential Building object with code 44200000.

Panorama Vision allows you to process terrain images in RSW/JPG/TIFF/PNG formats and data from open geoportals. The software package recognizes the contours of areas of fields, hydrographic objects (rivers, ponds, lakes and others), buildings and structures. The processing results are transmitted to the user as a vector map downloaded over the WFS protocol. The complex is implemented in the form of services that provide remote access to data decryption. It is located on the Internet on the servers of Panorama KB. Access to the complex is carried out from the list of application tasks of the Panorama GIS: Launching applications - item Automatic creation of objects.

Version 1.1.0

On September 18, 2024, Panorama Design Bureau announced the development of Panorama GIS version 15.3.2 and Panorama Vision automatic recognition and vectorization service version 1.1.0. The updated version expanded the capabilities of the Panorama Vision automatic recognition and vectorization complex and improved the tools for automatic decryption of satellite images. A neural network model has been added to the program to highlight the contours of buildings in images of the area. The Panorama Vision service brings the recognized contours of buildings to a rectangular shape and adjusts their location so that they exactly correspond to the foundation of buildings. The resulting model provides recognition accuracy over 90%.

According to the company, satellite images of the cities of the Russian Federation together with vector maps containing the applied contours of the roofs and walls of buildings were used to train the model. For accurate determination of building contours, the spatial resolution of the data should be from 0.5 to 1 meter/pixel for satellite images and 0.25 - 0.01 meters/pixel for aerial photographs. For example, the recognition of building contours in satellite images of the city of Moscow with a resolution of 0.6 meters/pixel within an area of ​ ​ 25 square kilometers took 2 minutes 20 seconds. As a result of processing, 2895 objects were created. The use of the updated model will allow, together with data from Rossreestr, to identify unregistered buildings and structures, as well as promptly update existing information on vector maps.
