The service uses a neural network to decrypt land plots and determine the boundaries of the contours of agricultural land. Information processing is performed on the local territory bounded by the polygon indicated on the map. Building a vector model of working areas of arable land in GeoJSON format is carried out on the basis of automatically selected actual data of average (10 m/px) and high resolution (1.2 m/px). The resulting maps of farmland have an accuracy comparable to the manual work of specialist-cartographers, but are created in much less time.
On the basis of the digital model of farmland, all agrotechnical calculations performed by the program are carried out: conducting passports of fields, building thematic cartograms, obtaining vegetation indices, maps of heterogeneity and need for nitrogen, calculating the application of fertilizer doses, and others.

VEGA-PRO is a professional information service that provides access via the WMS protocol to archived and up-to-date data, daily updated satellite images in natural colors and thematic products based on them for analyzing the Earth's surface and monitoring renewable biological resources. The service provides data obtained from satellites LandSat, Sentinel, MODIS, TERRA, KANOPUS, METEOR, RESOURCE and others. A full description of the service's capabilities is available in the documentation.
As part of the "Workstation of agronomist", the service is available in the form of geoportals with layers of coverage based on satellite images in natural colors, a large number of different vegetation indexes and thematic products: smoke, fires, temperature of ocean surface. A layer of coverage with images in natural colors can be used in tasks of monitoring the Earth's surface, for example, for assessing forest and land resources. The images clearly show the change in the forest area caused by fires, deforestation or destruction of the timber stand, as well as the overgrowing of agricultural lands with forests due to their underutilization.
Vegetation indexes are numerical indicators of the quantity and quality of biological resources, calculated on the basis of satellite images. Depending on the type, the indexes can be used in the tasks of assessing the health of vegetation, predicting yields, or determining the effectiveness of fertilization. Indexes NDVI, GNDVI, PVI, SWVI, SAVI, NDRE, MNDVI, AWEI, WRI, NDWI, NDMI are available for viewing.
Thematic anomalies provide information on fire and smoke based on multispectral satellite imagery. "Workstation of an agronomist" provides data content management for all layers from the VEGA-PRO geoportal by using the tools of filtering the source images by date of shooting and total cloud cover.
Access to the service is provided by username and password or by an API access key. The options for providing access are described in the documentation on the service website.

"Workstation of agronomist" provides display and editing of spatial databases in cartographic conventional symbols. To display combined vector signs containing several elements, including text, the "Editor of vector sign" has been improved. Tools for displaying polygons with a point sign in its center have been developed. For this, a new property of objects "Polygon with a point" has been added in the "Classifier Editor". For objects with this property, when creating and editing an object, or when sorting, a subobject with one point in the center of the polygon is automatically created. For example, when displaying a contour of an agricultural land in its center, you can automatically display the field number or a conventional symbol corresponding to the crop being grown. The position of the point mark can be corrected by means of the "Map Editor".
To display the result of an analytical or calculated expression, the list of mathematical operations for describing the semantics-formula has been expanded. The use of mathematical expressions (formulas) has been expanded that include various mathematical operations on the values of the object semantics and its measuring properties (length, area). As the mathematical operations there are supported the ABS, ARM, SIN, COS, TG, CTG, MIN, MAX, POW2, POW3, SQRT2, SQRT3, LOG, LOG10 and others. The value of the semantics-formula is automatically calculated when updating the coordinates or the values of semantics included in the expression (formula) and can participate in the formation of the symbol of the object through a series of objects or on the basis of programmable signs.
Tools for entering expressions and formulas used for selection of objects according to the conditions of one or several formulas (expressions) have been added into the "Object Search" dialog. For example, for the semantics (code 123), containing the amount of saltpeter applied in tons, it is necessary to select the contours of arable land, where from 40 to 50 kg of nitrogen is applied per hectare. Since the area of the plot (S) is calculated in square meters, and ammonium nitrate contains 34.5% nitrogen, the formula will look like: "#123*1000*0.345/(S/10000)". For selection by boundary conditions, you need to set two expressions, where 40 and 50 are specified as boundary values. To increase the speed of searching for objects by semantics, the indexing of semantics values is implemented using polynomial hashing methods. The speed of searching and selecting objects is increased on an average in 1000 times. To view and make changes into the values of the semantics of the selected objects, the mode "Editing semantics of the list of objects" has been improved. For convenience and acceleration of work, the ability to copy and paste semantics values with use of clipboard has been expanded.
In the mode "Search by cadastral number or address", the possibility of a selecting a source of search has been added: by a map or in Rosreestr. When using the search in the Rosreestr, the information found at the specified cadastral number or address is displayed in the "Information from State Real Estate Cadastre" dialog. If you have an access key to the Yandex.Maps API geocoder, the map is moved to the center of the found object.
Import of graphic files and matrixes of heights from GeoTIFF format has been improved. Due to the use of multi-threaded processing on a multi-core processor, the task execution time has been reduced by 3-5 times. There is added the analysis of tags containing information about the coordinate system GSK-2011 and PZ-90.11. When importing rasters and matrices, the loading of the data pyramid from the KMZ format has been added. KMZ archive can contain a KML file and a set of GeoTIFF files containing either a raster image or terrain elevation data. The KML file contains a description of the raster (matrix) data parameters - file names and coordinates, as well as the priority of their drawing. As a result of import from a KMZ file, a set of RSW or MTW files is formed, combined into an MPT project. An MPT project contains a list of rasters (RSW) or matrices (MTW) and file visibility limits according to the "Draw Order" parameter.
The program accelerates the transformation of vector maps into a given coordinate system by 4-6 times by means of the "Standard transformation" task and "on the fly" when adding maps in different coordinate systems.

The editor user interface is displayed in a separate window for a better overview of the map. It allows you to create new, modify existing map objects, perform actions on a group of objects. Operations are performed in a web browser and the result is uploaded to the server. Use the "View" panel to assign or change an object type. The object type can be set without interrupting the current editing operation. To do this, just select the appropriate icon in the "View" panel. Images of objects views are displayed as a legend (tree) or as a layout of objects (table).
For fast creation of objects the editor uses templates of objects. Templates of objects - the graphic list of often used types of map objects. When a template is selected, the editor automatically switches to the mode of creating an object of the specified type. The editor informs the user about the actions being performed: changing the type of an object, deleting, changing attributes and other operations on objects. The information is recorded into the map event log, which can be viewed.
The editor implements support for graphic objects, without selecting a conventional symbol from the map classifier file. Ability has been added to create an arbitrary visual representation of geographic objects. Users can define the parameters of the appearance of lines and areas: color, transparency, thickness, line type, select hatching, fonts and their design for text. The customized visual representation of the object is saved as a style and can be used repeatedly.
In the new version of GIS WebServer AGRO, the user and administrator interface of the application has been updated. The new tools have been added, allowing to minimise and change the interface of the main map window. There is implemented the ability to display map controls in the side panel, which is located to the left or to right of the map and provides a convenient interface for managing the toolbox.
The structure and interface of the administration module has been changed. In the module the possibility of conducting projects was added. Projects in GIS WebServer AGRO are created automatically and linked directly to agricultural enterprises described in the agrarian database, customized by means of

In the task "Lists of objects" when searching for intersection and overlap of objects, the "Matching contours" mode has been added. The mode carries out search for the contours of agricultural land at which the external and internal contours coincide with other farmland or other objects (cadastre, land management, forest management and others).
To update the data of the electronic farmland map, the "Collecting field measurements" mode is used. When carrying out field work, an agronomist can take with him a mobile device (tablet), on which the "Workstation of agronomist" software is loaded with a working map. On this map, you can immediately clarify the boundaries of the working areas of the fields, create new areas, and also enter the semantic characteristics of the fields for various soil measurements. In the "Update semantics" mode, a synchronization of the attributes of agricultural land, recorded in the semantics of the map during autonomous work in the field, with the information stored in the agrarian database is provided.
"Map print" dialog has been improved. Ability has been added to limit the display area of the map by the border of the selected areal or closed line object. In this case, you can set the degree of transparency of the map display outside the borders of the main contour of the object from 0 (source image) to 100% (completely filled). This mode is called through the context menu in the "Map print" dialog by pressing the "Select area by object" button.
"Workstation of agronomist" supports the processing and analysis of data of satellite monitoring. Interaction with an external service of Earth's remote sensing data is provided to obtain matrices of vegetation indices, maps of zones of inhomogeneities of fields and a time series of averaged values of vegetation indices. The resulting maps and matrices are used to analyze the amount of biomass in order to make management decisions in agriculture. The download source is the Geosys web service.
The data on the contours of agricultural land are represented by vector maps, matrixes of relief heights, matrixes of vegetation indices, maps of heterogeneities, thematic maps and matrixes. The hierarchical structure of the project of agrarian data can include unlimited number of maps and matrixes. To speed up the opening and first display of maps, the formation of a binary tree of territorial distribution of objects for each map sheet has been added. When the map is opened, the object tree is read, which accelerates the first display by 5-15 times (for a map with 2 million objects, the opening and first display is accelerated from 9-12 seconds to 1 second).
The display of DEMs has been improved, the color of the coverage point is calculated based on 16 adjacent heights using the bicubic interpolation method. The new method of obtaining the color of an element allows you to eliminate the discreteness of the display of the matrix and the light-shadow relief mask. To display DEMs with smoothing, enable the main menu item "Options" - "Display matrix with smoothing".
"Workstation of agronomist" provides information exchange with external programs. For this, scheme of exchange in the form of XML format files is provided. The joint functioning of the "Workstation of agronomist" and information and control systems on the 1C platform, configuration "AgroHolding" and Management of an agricultural enterprise is supported. The exchange scheme is two-way, which allows import and export of data.
All modes of the "Workstation of agronomist" work with the agrarian database in the "Panorama AGRO" structure and support the placement of data on the GIS "Server" to ensure collective multi-user access. There is added the ability to specify the environment variable instead of the host name in the name of data opened from the GIS Server. It allows to customize MPT/MPTZ projects of data (having replaced a server name with an environment variable) which can, if necessary, be transferred into another network environment (for example, from a test platform onto production platform) without reconfiguring the addresses of the data being opened. When saving MPT/MPTZ projects, the server name is automatically replaced with an environment variable if it is set for the given server name.
