Na stránkách my.esri.com si můžete stáhnout aplikaci ArcGIS Pro 2.7. V této aktualitě vám přiblížíme některé z nejzajímavějších novinek. Aplikace je zatím dostupná v anglické verzi, balíček s českou lokalizací bude dostupný přibližně na začátku února.
Mód prolnutí, funkci známou z grafických programů GIMP nebo Adobe Photoshop, můžeme aplikovat na jednotlivé vrstvy, a dokonce i na jednotlivé prvky. Nastavení módu prolnutí naleznete na kartě Vzhled vrstvy, hned pod nastavením průhlednosti.
Při výběru barvy lze použít kapátko.
Při volbě „upravit všechny symboly“, když upravujeme symboly roztříděné do několika kategorií, máme v náhledu možnost přepínat mezi vzhledy jednotlivých kategorií, abychom mohli naše změny lépe posoudit v kontextu nastavených tříd.
Představen je nový formát mobilní geodatabáze na základě SQLite pro snazší přenositelnost dat na různých platformách – například tím, že se jedná o jediný soubor.
Přibyly také různé nástroje pro analýzu pohybu objektů, které jejich trasy analyzují a rozpoznají, kdy se objekty potkaly a kdy měly společnou cestu. Přibyl také nový datový typ 3D Object layer, což je vylepšená varianta typu Multipatch. A protože se ArcGIS Pro často provozuje i na přenosných počítačích, lze zapnout i sběr dat pomocí připojeného GNSS zařízení.
Celý obsah vyskakovacích oken lze editovat v HTML. Je již také možné omezit zobrazení mapy jen na některá měřítka.
Více možností je i pro popisky – pro batymetrické vrstevnice v hloubkových metrech je možné natočit popisky tak, aby směřovaly dolů, ačkoliv hodnoty hloubkových vrstevnic jsou kladné (10, 20, 30…).
Lepší je tvorba tabulkového seznamu neumístěných popisků a upraveny jsou také volby popisků, které jsou k objektu připojeny čarou. ArcGIS Pro podporuje variabilní fonty – to jsou fonty, u kterých můžeme tloušťku a tučnost písmen plynule vybírat nastavením určitých parametrů.
Načíst si můžeme také barevné palety Pantone. Pro bodové symboly můžeme použít nový efekt Circular Sector, který umožňuje vytvářet výsečové kartodiagramy (například pro zobrazení síly větru).
Při tvorbě legendy se snadněji určuje, jaké prvky mají být v jakém sloupci. Mřížku ve výkresu je možnépřevést na prvky a ty pak podle libosti editovat.
Můžeme také použít funkci pro tvorbu vlastních kartografických zobrazení. Na základě oblasti, kterou vybereme, a parametrů, které určíme (např. plochojevné zobrazení) nám ArcGIS Pro nabídne parametry nového kartografického zobrazení.
Několik dalších nástrojů bylo přizpůsobeno použití pro běh na více jádrech procesoru (Pairwise Clip, Erase a Integrate).
V kalkulátoru polí je možné použít i příkazy SQL.
Zlepšila se i práce s geoprocessingovou historií – v použitých nástrojích je možné filtrovat a označovat je jako oblíbené.
Různá vylepšení obsahuje také ModelBuilder (hledání nástrojů, iterování vrstev, přizpůsobení vkládání výsledků do mapy), tvorba grafů (nový graf Matrix Heat Chart, čára s klouzavým průměrem, duplikace grafů jedním kliknutím), práce s animací voxelových dat (a nástroje pro práci s voxely v API), nástroje pro analýzu změn a hloubkové učení, analýzu změn v sousedství a mnoho dalšího.
Podrobný soupis novinek naleznete na stránce What‘s New in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 a můžete se také podívat na půlhodinové video, které většinu novinek rychle představí.

Od roku 2018 město Brno spravuje svůj datový portál, jehož prostřednictvím poskytuje svá data odborníkům i široké veřejnosti. Dne 16. 12. 2020 byla spuštěna jeho nová verze, jejímž hlavním cílem je zvýšení kvality otevřených dat a možnost jejich snadného sdílení.
Vize nového datawebu
Jedním z hlavních cílů byla snaha poskytovat kvalitní a aktuální otevřená data, která se mohou následně stát základem pro další úspěšné projekty. Data jsou zde proto poskytována jako služby. Jednou z dalších výhod nového portálu je podpora senzorových dat, neboť časem bude těchto dat významně přibývat. Krásným příkladem je využití datové sady od WAZE, která pracuje s aktuálními informacemi o dopravní situaci v Brně.
Využití služeb ArcGIS HUB
ArcGIS HUB funguje jako propojující centrum a kromě sdílení a sběru dat slouží i ke shromažďování názorů a nápadů od občanů. Právě tyto funkce může město naplno využít a otevřít tak veřejnosti kvalitní prostorová data, které má k dispozici.
Dalším důvodem pro přechod na službu ArcGIS HUB byla nezávislost na dodavatelích a úplná kontrola nad obsahem datawebu.
Co na datawebu naleznete?
V nové verzi datawebu data.brno.cz naleznete aktualizované statistiky města, sociologické průzkumy a stejně tak i různé články či data ke zpracování. Pokud však uživatel nenalezne data, která právě potřebuje, má možnost o ně požádat v sekci data na vyžádání.
Vedle toho může kdokoliv navrhnout i novou datovou sadu či statistiku, kterou by na datawebu rád našel.
Město Brno má v úmyslu nový datový portál nadále rozvíjet, a proto sdílí své zkušeností s dalšími městy, sleduje trendy v oboru a zajímá se i o názor svých uživatelů tak, aby datový portál co nejlépe naplňoval jejich očekávání.
In this week's edition of the Earth from Space programme, the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission takes us over Lapland, the largest and northernmost region of Finland, just in time for Christmas.

Koncem listopadu 2018 byl spuštěn komplexní datový web na adrese data.brno.cz. Od té doby ho navštívilo téměř 100 tisíc uživatelů, kteří na něm hledali aplikace, články, analýzy a samotná data. Od 16. 12. 2020 bude na stejné adrese data.brno.cz fungovat nová verze datového webu. Hlavní motivací pro změnu technologie datawebu bylo zvýšení kvality otevřených dat […]

Press Release N° 33–2020
On Tuesday, November 17, Arianespace announced the loss of the Vega VV17 mission, which was carrying two payloads, SEOSAT-Ingenio, an Earth-science observation satellite for the European Space Agency (ESA), on behalf of Spain's Center for Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), and TARANIS for France’s National Centre for Space Studies (CNES). The first three stages functioned nominally until the ignition of the AVUM upper stage, eight minutes after liftoff. At that time, a degraded trajectory was detected, followed by a loss of control of the vehicle and the subsequent loss of the mission.
The latest upgrades carried out on the SAR/Galileo Local User Terminals of Spain, Cyprus and Norway, earlier in the summer are helping the International COSPAS-SARSAT Programme transition towards MEOSAR completion.
Since the declaration of its Initial Services in December 2016, Galileo has been going from strength to strength, enabling a multitude of new solutions across all market segments. One of the system’s unique capability that is being provided uninterrupted since day one is the Search and Rescue (SAR) service together with the pioneering Galileo Return Link Service. Galileo’s contribution to the Medium Earth Orbit Satellites Search and Rescue System (MEOSAR) managed by the International COSPAS-SARSAT Programme translates into 2000 lives saved per year.
From emitting a distress signal to being rescued by emergency responders, the Galileo signals travel 23,000 km from the ground to space and back. When a person in distress activates a Galileo enabled emergency beacon, the Galileo satellites capture the signal and transmit it to three ground stations strategically deployed across Europe called ‘’MEOLUTs’’ (Medium Earth Orbit Local User Terminals) which calculate the precise location of the person in destress. Once the location is determined, it is transmitted to different Mission Control Centres (MCCs) around the world that coordinate the rescue operations. It is only when the MCCs are informed about a potential incident that the Galileo Return Link Service is activated. The user then receives back via the Galileo satellites a confirmation message that their position is known and that help is on the way.
The European MEOLUTs are an integral part of the Galileo SAR ground segment. The three MEOLUTs based in Larnaca (Cyprus), Maspalomas (Spain) and Spitsbergen (Norway) are equipped with 12 measurement antennas (4 antennas per station). For a more robust performance and coverage, the twelve antennas are further coordinated and optimized by a specific facility called MEOLUT Tracking Coordination Facility deployed in Toulouse (France).
The MEOSAR system offers many advantages to SAR operations such as near real-time worldwide coverage and faster detection and localisation services to all end users. To support the transition towards the FOC of the MEOSAR system, the European MEOLUTs were upgraded during the course of the past months and an extensive test campaign was conducted. The results met the operational, performance and functional requirements specified in the COSPAS-SARSAT documentation to allow operations at a MEOSAR FOC performance level. The results were reviewed by a COSPAS-SARSAT dedicated expert working group in October which recommended the approval.
The European MEOLUTs are the first to achieve such level of performance. This millstone coupled with an upgrade at the Mission Control Centers in Cyprus, Spain and Norway will be of big relevance when COSPAS-SARSAT determines MEOSAR’s readiness to Full Operational Capability.
The Larnaca MEOLUT facility has been installed on Makarios Teleport site. It is an isolated area close to the southern shore of Cyprus between the coastal towns of Limassol and Larnaca. It is operated by Cyprus Telecommunication Authorities and is connected to the Cyprus Mission Control Centre.
The Maspalomas MEOLUT facility has been installed on the Maspalomas Space Station site on the Spanish Canary island of Gran Canaria. It is operated by INTA (National Institute for Aerospace Technology in Spain) and is connected to the Spanish Mission Control Centre.
The Spitsbergen MEOLUT facility has been installed on the SvalSat Satellite Ground Station site at the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. It is operated by Kongsberg Satellite Services and is connected to the Norwegian Mission Control Centre.

A session on Horizon 2020 success stories, held on the final day of European Space Week, highlighted some of the innovative projects that took advantage of EU H2020 funding to develop ideas leveraging Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus, or synergies between the programmes, to produce products for the market. The session included some valuable advice for anyone thinking about applying for funding.
Kicking off the session, GSA Executive Director Rodrigo da Costa noted the importance of the downstream space sector in terms of job and value creation. “Innovation and the increasing volume of data and services available, are contributing to the sustainable growth of EU start-ups, SMEs and companies,” he said, adding that success stories from Horizon 2020 were proof that EU investment support is essential for innovation.
Looking to the future, da Costa said that the GSA would continue its work with Horizon Europe, building on the successes of Horizon 2020. “The next period will bring additional investment and instruments to the downstream space segment,” he said.

The representative from the Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) also noted that the downstream sector is an area of growth where many jobs are created, adding that tomorrow’s space applications would pave the way for a whole range of innovative applications for European industry. He also introduced the EUR 1-billion CASSINI (Competitive Space Start-ups for INnovatIon) initiative, which aims to expand the number of start-ups creating businesses based on innovative EU space technologies.
A number of successful Horizon 2020 projects gave their advice to other projects considering applying for EU support. The need to put together a strong team was something that many of the successful projects advised. Isabel Botey from the DCS4COP project said that it is necessary to gather a strong team of experts, and have a strong vision and an easy to understand strategy. “Talk to customers. They are the best consultants for a successful business,” she said.
Ernst Pfeiffer from the Large European Antenna project (Project LEA) advised projects to apply for funding only if its fits exactly with their project’s specialisation. “Select your team carefully and involve your national contact point for advice and recommendations,” he said. Linda Moser from the EcoLaSS project advised applicants to have a strong vision that goes beyond tomorrow’s state of the art and meets societal challenges. She said that, as projects can last for a long time, it is important to ensure that the results will still be relevant by the project’s end.
And this: High accuracy and synergies in focus at UCP
Raúl Arnau Prieto from Greenpatrol advised applicants to prepare their proposal well in advance and match their technical challenges to the scope of the call, while Pedro Russo from SpaceEU advised to build a consortium that truly cares about the challenge that the project addresses.
Winding up the session, MEP Cristophe Grudler noted that the projects presented during the session showed how dynamic the EU space sector is, and proved that EU investment is key to support competitiveness and innovation in the EU space industry.

Frozen Arctic soils are set to release vast amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as they continue to thaw in coming decades. Despite concerns that this will fuel future global warming, the scale and speed of this important climate process remain uncertain. To help address this knowledge gap, ESA-funded researchers have developed and released a new permafrost dataset – the longest, satellite-derived permafrost record currently available.

EXTON, Pa. – December 15, 2020 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, has elevated its participation in the Digital Twin Consortium by becoming a founding member. Having been a groundbreaker member since day one of the consortium’s launch in May of 2020, Bentley will deepen its collaboration as a founding member and become a member of its steering committee.
One way that Bentley is helping advance the Digital Twin Consortium’s mission is through defining the terminology used to describe digital twins. Casey Mullen, distinguished architect, strategic technologies at Bentley Systems, has contributed his expertise as a lead author of the Digital Twin Consortium’s definition of a digital twin. Mullen helped unveil the new definition during a panel discussion at the IOT Solutions World Congress on December 3, 2020.
The consortium’s digital twin definition is:
A digital twin is a virtual representation of real-world entities and processes, synchronized at a specified frequency and fidelity.
“I’ve enjoyed collaborating with representatives from diverse industries in the consortium’s Technology, Terminology, and Taxonomy Working Group to develop a set of practical definitions to inform those who are acquiring or implementing digital twins,” said Mullen.
Steering the WayAs a founding member, Bentley is also contributing its advice and technology expertise to the Digital Twin Consortium’s steering committee. Adam Klatzkin, vice president, iTwin Platform, at Bentley Systems, and Mullen are helping advance the Digital Twin Consortium’s strategic roadmap, working groups, and governance as members of the consortium’s steering committee.
“We are delighted that Bentley is a founding member of Digital Twin Consortium and is also a member of our steering committee,” said Dr. Richard Soley, executive director, Digital Twin Consortium. “The consortium looks forward to high-level guidance on digital twin technologies and continued contributions based on Bentley’s experience and knowledge of the infrastructure industry.”
Bentley’s collaboration with Digital Twin Consortium and its global ecosystem of digital twin users underscores its commitment to advancing open solutions for digital twins. Bentley provides iTwin.js, an open-source, software developer library for creating digital twin solutions for infrastructure. Bentley is also a member of buildingSMART International’s Digital Twin Working Group.
Bentley recently expanded its digital twin offerings with the iTwin Platform, a new platform-as-a-service offering for developers with openness as a guiding principle. The platform supports a broad range of design tools—Bentley and third-party—and file interchange formats including IFC. Klatzkin said, “The iTwin platform provides an open foundation for creating digital twin capabilities for modeling, simulation, project delivery, asset performance, and much more.”
To jump-start awareness and adoption of the iTwin digital twin platform, Bentley recently launched the iTwin Partner Program, the iTwin Ventures Fund, and hosted the inaugural iTwin Developer Conference.
Caption: As a founding member, Bentley will help advance the consortium’s strategic roadmap, working groups, and governance to maximize the benefits of digital twins and accelerate the digital twin market.
Digital Twin Consortium was formed by non-profit trade association Object Management Group® with Ansys, Dell, Lendlease, and Microsoft, to demonstrate the value of digital twin technology and accelerate the digital twin market. As the authority in digital twins, the consortium brings together industry, government, and academia to drive consistency in the vocabulary, architecture, security, and interoperability of digital twin technology.

Just like your mobile phone, satellites themselves rely on satellite navigation to find their way in space. Thanks to a new ESA-developed receiver, the recently-launched Sentinel-6 is making use of Europe’s Galileo as well as the US GPS system, a fact set to sharpen the accuracy of its sea level rise measurements.
In the smart energy grids of the future, all energy market participants will communicate with each other, making energy supplies more reactive. This will bring many benefits, including reduced costs, improved efficiency and the seamless integration of the distribution of energy sources, including renewable energy. However, for smart grids to operate successfully they will have to be based on a solid and robust synchronisation infrastructure. This is where GNSS comes in.
Grid systems rely on GNSS clocks as a time reference source and atomic clocks as a backup in case of outages. GNSS receivers are comparably low-cost, reliable, high-precision timing sources that can be implemented in a large number in intelligent grids, to enable real-time automatic control of the grid.
“Due to the importance of the power system to our lives and economies, and the likelihood of future smart grid reliance on high-precision timing, it is critical that GNSS signals be resilient against interference, including spoofing,” said GSA Executive Director da Costa. “The accuracy and robustness of the Galileo service, and the added layer of protection offered by the Open Service Navigation Message Authentication, means that Galileo will be the go-to solution for grid operators,” he said.
Two projects currently developing Galileo-enabled timing receivers, supported by the GSA through its Fundamental Elements funding programme, are GIANO and GEARS. Both receivers will make critical infrastructure and in particular the energy networks more robust against spoofing and will provide accurate Galileo-based timing and synchronisation capabilities.

“The Galileo programme is slowly becoming the EU’s official time reference that, together with national UTC(k) network time distribution, creates new powerful and robust synchronisation references for smart-grids,” said Tomasz Widomski, a member of the supervisory board of ELPROMA, a Polish manufacturer of NTP/PTP time servers.
“It is believed that the power industry evolving towards smart grids will rely on this solid foundation of timing information. The main and regional systems must be tamper-proof and protected against external interferences – the time and synchronisation must be safe,” he said.
ELPROMA was a member of the Horizon 2020 ‘DEMonstrator of EGNSS services based on Time Reference Architecture’ (Demetra) project, which developed a prototype of an EGNSS-based time disseminator that provides time certification, redundancy, resilience, integrity and improved accuracy, while validating the concept of ‘time as a service’.

The company went on to win a seven-figure contract to supply Rubidium IEEE1588 NTS-5000 servers to support a country-scale modern smart grid system in Asia (read more here). These servers incorporate a modified version of the cyber-security solution developed as part of the Demetra project. As such, this is a Horizon 2020 success story.

In the smart energy grids of the future, all energy market participants will communicate with each other, making energy supplies more reactive. This will bring many benefits, including reduced costs, improved efficiency and the seamless integration of the distribution of energy sources, including renewable energy. However, for smart grids to operate successfully they will have to be based on a solid and robust synchronisation infrastructure. This is where GNSS comes in.
Grid systems rely on GNSS clocks as a time reference source and atomic clocks as a backup in case of outages. GNSS receivers are comparably low-cost, reliable, high-precision timing sources that can be implemented in a large number in intelligent grids, to enable real-time automatic control of the grid.
“Due to the importance of the power system to our lives and economies, and the likelihood of future smart grid reliance on high-precision timing, it is critical that GNSS signals be resilient against interference,” said GSA Executive Director da Costa. “The accuracy and robustness of the Galileo service, and the added layer of protection that will be offered by the Open Service Navigation Message Authentication, means that Galileo will be the go-to solution for grid operators,” he said.
Two projects currently developing Galileo-enabled timing receivers, supported by the GSA through its Fundamental Elements funding programme, are GIANO and GEARS. Both receivers will make critical infrastructure and in particular the energy networks more robust against spoofing and will provide accurate Galileo-based timing and synchronisation capabilities.
