Automation of BIM modeling processes through project documentation
Iskakov D.M.
Abstract
The automation of the project documentation data processing and its integration into BIM models is considered in the paper. Particular attention is given to the data preparation phase that is conventionally regarded as the most time-consuming and resource-intensive step. The primary objective of the research is to achieve automation in BIM modeling through project documentation. The main tasks of the study are to automate data extraction from PDF drawings, their subsequent processing and conversion into a format suitable for use in BIM systems. The obtained results demonstrate that the developed tool can significantly reduce data processing time and improve the accuracy of their integration. The key conclusions drawn from the study indicate that the proposed tool simplifies and accelerates such processes as converting data from technical documentation, extracting textual and tabular information, verifying completeness and consistency, thereby enhancing the efficiency of creating component catalogs and mini-catalogs for pipeline systems, which contributes to increased design accuracy and reduced project timelines. This is particularly crucial when dealing with large volumes of data, where traditional methods may prove laborious and less accurate.

Formation of statistically homogeneous groups of initial data to improve the quality of predictive mathematical models of kinematic type
Khoroshilov V.S., Kobeleva N.N.
Abstract
One of the key challenges when constructing predictive mathematical models, including those of a kinematic type, is the heterogeneity of raw data. Heterogeneity can be expressed in such ways as variability, presence of outliers, asymmetric distributions, and other complexities that significantly reduce forecast accuracy and complicate the modeling process. To enhance model performance, it is essential to divide raw data into groups sharing similar statistical characteristics, which helps minimize errors introduced by diverse sources and improves result stability. It is particularly important when dealing with heterogeneous datasets, when traditional analysis methods often prove insufficient for uncovering hidden patterns within deformation processes. Statistical homogeneity of individual implementations of observed deformation marks implies a deterministic and probabilistic nature of the engineering structure deformation process, and its correct application in developing a predictive mathematical model must be ensured by a statistical criterion of sample representativeness. The stages of conducting research based on variance analysis aimed at correctly identifying groups of statistically homogeneous initial data, which allows further improvement of the quality of predictive mathematical models, are discussed in the paper. For this purpose, the possibilities of using key statistical indicators such as correlation coefficients, variation ratios, dispersion magnitudes, mean values, and others are investigated.

Analysis of atmosphere impact on spatial resolution of scanning imaging systems in aircraft
Aliyeva G.V., Huseynov O.A.
Abstract
The influence of various factor modulation transfer function (MTF) on spatial and angular resolution of airborne imaging systems is investigated. It is noted that the spatial resolution of airborne imaging systems forming images is primarily limited by MTF turbulence, aerosol, optics and electronics. In this case a reasonable limit for improving the MTF optics and electronics is the MTF aerosol. A specific type of relationship between object distance and aerosol extinction coefficient, when the MTF aerosol reaches its minimum value, is demonstrated. It is recommended to avoid such conditions in practice.

Assessment of tree parameters based on aerial laser scanning data in mixed forests of the Middle Urals
Burdin A.A., Bogatyrev D.A., Tarasov A.V., Pyankov S.V.
Abstract
The initial results of individual tree-level assessment of stand characteristics (tree count, height, and diameter) in mixed forests of the Middle Urals using airborne laser scanning (ALS) data are presented in the article. A complete ground survey was carried out for a sample plot of 2.52 hectares located in Berezovsky District of the Perm region, along with an ALS survey performed with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Based on the acquired point cloud processed using the LidR package, segmentation and identification of tree tops were carried out. As a result of this segmentation, 962 trees were identified within the study area according to ALS data, which is approximately 10% less than their actual number. The discrepancy was attributed to difficulties in processing areas with dense canopy cover and presence of low-height trees. Linear regression models were developed to estimate tree heights and diameters based on ALS data. The RMSE was found to be 1.5 m for tree height and 6.1 cm for tree diameter. These findings provide a foundation for further refinement of the models and validate the feasibility of studying and applying ALS for detailed forest inventory.

Cartography and geoinformatics

Principles of automated interpretation and spatial data extraction from ground-based imagery considering spatiotemporal context
Belysheva Y.V., Gvozdev O.G., Materukhin A.V.
Abstract
The challenge of insufficient availability of high-resolution spatiotemporal data, a concern affecting not just geoinformatics, which heavily depends on statistical analyses, field surveys, direct observations, and satellite imagery, but also other subject areas that rely on spatially and temporally referenced data is discussed in the paper. To address this deficiency, the extraction of spatial data from ground-based imagery is proposed as a solution. A conceptual scheme for automated extraction of spatial data from these images taking into account their spatiotemporal context is presented. The authors discuss an experimental study carried out on Sakhalin Island, which validated the applicability of the proposed method for detecting and locating different types of fog formations at the Pushisty airfield. Using ground-based imagery and minimum of additional meteorological inputs (such as wind direction and air humidity), the experiment achieved notable results with an F1 score of 0.85 and an intersection over union measure of 0.74. The study examined the constraints and limitations of the proposed method, thereby delineating clear pathways for future research endeavors and technological advancements.

Development of a reference-search system for published maps and atlases
Zagrebin G.I.
Abstract
In this study, one phase within the automatic determination of an atlas structure - whether it is general geographical, thematic, or comprehensive - is examined. The focus lies on how a reference-search system is formed and used to catalog domestic and international atlases. The system provides detailed structural information on each atlas along with inventories of general-purpose and specialized maps they contain. The reference-search system enables designers to incorporate existing cartographic expertise specific to a particular region while developing the structure of new atlases. It helps identify the most popular sections and map topics. Additionally, a technological framework for searching and archiving published maps and atlases was outlined, detailing the steps involved in editors entering data into the system. As an illustration, such a system was implemented based on the cartographic collection held by the Department of Cartography at Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography.

Cartographic support for scientific and production activities: a systematic review of methods and results
Loginov D.S.
Abstract
The article addresses the challenge of accurate classifying the diverse range of digital cartographic and geoinformation products as outcomes of cartographic support for scientific and production activities. To systematize the current array of results within the conventional framework of cartographic support as a product of cartographic work a symbiotic approach is proposed that emphasizes the interaction among cartographic, geoinformation, and information support. The developed graphical models capture contemporary practices of attributing a wide spectrum of both cartographic and geoinformation products and models to cartographic support. At the same time, these models underscore the inconsistent and sometimes chaotic use of the term "cartographic support" when designating research findings associated with this type of cartographic activity. To address the limitations inherent in the traditional conception of cartographic support alternative approaches that reconceptualize cartographic support as a systemic process focused on delivering final products to consumers are explored in the article. This perspective enables the identification and characterization of cognitive, communicative, technical, and other relevant dimensions involved in handling spatial data through contemporary digital cartographic and geoinformation products. The findings provide necessary and sufficient conditions to enhance the efficiency of cartographic support and advance its theoretical and methodological foundations. Ultimately, the study positions cartographic support as an applied discipline that integrates cartographic methodologies within the broader digital transformation of scientific and production activities.

Designing an Ecological Trail on Cape Svyatoy Nos Peninsula (Lake Baikal) Through Geosystem Structure Mapping
Sedykh S.A.
Abstract
The study presents the results of examining and mapping the geosystems of the ridge and submontane inclined plateaus on the Svyatoy Nos Peninsula. Field investigations were conducted from 2020 to 2021 as part of the design and proposed extension of an ecological trail connecting Makarov Mountain (1878 m) to Chivyrkuy Bay. Extensive fires in 2012 and 2015 severely impacted large areas of the mountain taiga slopes, alpine shrubby sparse forests, and certain peaks within the high-mountain zone. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the structure of these geosystems (landscapes) to evaluate the feasibility of trail development while prioritizing the conservation of natural complexes. A spatial GIS analysis was performed using a regionally typological approach, developed by the Irkutsk Geographical School specifically for Asian Russia. This methodology enabled a detailed delineation of the peninsula's geosystems as of 2024, incorporating natural dynamics and the lasting effects of fire disturbances. The resulting map legend represents both regional patterns and local specificities of topographic geosystem formation and functioning. The geosystem diversity across the ridge reflects a complex mosaic of environmental conditions, shaped by variations in slope steepness and exposure within a highly dissected mountainous relief, coupled with cryogenic and slope processes and a semi-arid climate. Detailed route descriptions, supplemented by photographic documentation, were conducted along several corridors - from the lakeshore through foothill inclined plains, ascending southward along the ridge to the high-mountain belt's base, then following the ridge crest, and finally descending northward into Krestovskaya Bay. For the proposed trail corridor, a 1:50,000 landscape-typological map was compiled, identifying 43 distinct topographic landscape types within a 61 km2 area. This foundational map serves as the basis for derivative assessments of geosystem stability and disturbance, providing critical support for sustainable trail design and environmental preservation efforts.

Land management, cadastre and land monitoring

Methodological Approaches to Three-Dimensional Identification and Registration of Real Estate Objects
Gura D.А.
Abstract
The methodological principles underpinning the three-dimensional identification of real estate objects are examined in the study. The primary objective is to establish a comprehensive system of principles that facilitate the development and implementation of 3D cadastral accounting in Russia. Through a rigorous analysis of relevant national legislation alongside international best practices, five fundamental principles were delineated. The principles enable the systematic updating, verification, and organization of spatial cadastral data, while promoting the application of scientifically grounded methodologies in real estate management. Each principle is theoretically substantiated, with an emphasis on its pivotal role in the progressive transition from traditional 2D to advanced 3D cadastre. Consequently, this study proposes a conceptual framework comprising five interrelated methodological principles that form the foundation for a 3D cadastre. At the core of this framework lies the principle of consistency, which ensures an integrated approach to cadastre maintenance by harmonizing spatial, attributive, and legal data within a unified information model.

Three-dimensional geoinformation modeling of main pipeline facilities by laser scanning data to form the boundary of the allotment of land
Dolgopolov D.V., Kuznetsov T.I., Akhundov A.G., Baryshev A.I., Melkiy V.A.
Abstract
The aim of this study is to select and formalize methodological approaches to constructing three-dimensional models of main pipeline facilities based on laser scanning data to form the boundary of land allotment. The study used geospatial modeling methods that provided parameters of pipeline system monitoring objects by laser scanning data. The network of main pipelines (MT) forms a complex natural and technical system, in which the sections have a significant length and are exposed to various natural and man-made processes, which complicates the observation of both the objects of the system and the dynamics of processes affecting its condition. When organizing geotechnical monitoring of pipeline system facilities, geoinformation modeling should be used, which is formed primarily subject to compliance with the principles of uniformity of measurements and dynamism. The article considers the issues of the level of detail of three-dimensional geoinformation models created by laser scanning data. Methodological and technological approaches to geoinformation modeling of trunk pipeline objects based on basic modeling elements and hierarchical classifiers of the subject area are proposed, possibility of automating the modeling of monitoring objects based on laser scanning data is also considered. The models obtained using the proposed approach have mathematical precision of structural elements, which ensures high speed of their loading and operation both in desktop applications and in corporate Web portals, and also for use in forming the boundary of the allotment of land.

Concept of SSUGT's Geospatial Digital Research Infrastructure
Karpik A.P., Dubrovsky A.V., Malygina O.I.
Abstract
The article is devoted to the urgent problem of creating a University's integrated digital research infrastructure (DRI) supporting fundamental and applied research in the field of geoinformatics and spatial analysis. With the rapid growth of geospatial data and expansion of its application possibilities, the need to create such an ecosystem is becoming essential for improving the efficiency of scientific activities and educational process. The lack of a unified platform leads to data fragmentation, duplication of efforts and limited opportunities for interdisciplinary research. The proposed concept outlines the architecture of a University's geospatial DRI focusing on three core components: Geo-Monitor, Geo-Prototype, and Geo-Polygon. Geo-Monitor is responsible for collecting, storing, processing, and visualizing geospatial data, ensuring researchers and students have access to up-to-date information. Geo-Prototype serves as a development and testing environment for geographic information models and algorithms, enabling virtual experiments and scenario simulations. Geo-Polygon encompasses a suite of services and applications that provide users with tools for spatial analysis, modeling, visualization, as well as real-world physical sites for field-based investigations. The authors provide a detailed description of each component functionality, its interrelation with other elements, and mechanisms for user interaction. Special emphasis is paid to integrating the DRI into the existing university ecosystem and exploring opportunities for future functional expansion. A number of application examples of the developed ecosystem are presented in the paper. It is concluded that the proposed geospatial DRI holds significant potential for improving both research and educational outcomes, and addressing critical challenges related to sustainable spatial development. Implementing the developed components within the University framework fosters integration between fundamental and applied research and creates an optimal environment for training highly skilled specialists in the field of geographic information science and spatial analytics.

Analysis of land redistribution methodology for agricultural use on the example of Karagach Village, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, using modern geoinformation techniques
Makhotlova M.S.
Abstract
The system of land relations includes various aspects: from legal and economic to social. Each category of participants in land relations - from government agencies to owners of small plots - plays a key role in shaping sustainable and rational use of land. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to introduce modern technologies and methods of land management that will help minimize the negative impact on the ecosystem and ensure the restoration of soil fertility through the organization of rational land ownership and land use. The present study is devoted to the analysis and evaluation of the efficiency of the use of agricultural land in the rural settlement (village) of Karagach in the Prokhladnensky district of the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. In the course of the study, comprehensive work was carried out on the collection and analysis of spatial data for different time periods. For this purpose, data from remote sensing of the Earth (remote sensing) and satellite monitoring using geoinformation systems (GIS) technologies were used. The use of GIS and remote sensing made it possible not only to visually display changes in land plots, but also to conduct an in-depth analysis of the use of agricultural land. As a result, a detailed plan was developed that reflects the current state of the land and potential areas for agricultural development in the village of Karagach.

Application of satellite imagery for assessing the environment forming potential of a territory
Sizov A.P., Chernyh E.G., Shchukina V.N., Merkurieva K.R., Bukreev D.A.
Abstract
The environment-forming potential (EFP) of the territory as an indicator of the state of lands, landscapes and territories is considered in the article. The EFP enables an assessment of land condition, forecasting its use, and analyzing changes that occurred in the territory. In the authors' earlier works, detailed studies were carried out on calculating the value of the EFP across all regions of the Russian Federation based on data regarding the availability and distribution of lands according to categories taken from open sources and national reports. The primary objective of the study is to devise a robust methodology for interpreting satellite imagery specifically aimed at accurately calculating the EFP of various territories. To achieve this goal, advanced techniques combining information-logical and comparative geographical analysis within the subject area (land use, environmental management, and ecological development) were employed. The article presents characteristics of the initial satellite images, results of their thematic interpretation, as well as an excerpt from a summary table correlating Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values of elementary cells with different types of land cover used for calculating refined territorial EFP. A representative part of Tyumen district is considered as a designated test region. The methodological advancement of the study lies in developing and testing an approach to quantifying the environment-forming potential through the interpretation of satellite imagery.
