Aurora, Colorado November 13, 2009 Merrick & Company (www.merrick.com), a world leader in light detection and ranging (LiDAR), digital orthophotography, photogrammetry, hyperspectral mapping, and geographic information systems (GIS) mapping, announced the release of Version 6.0 of the Merrick Advanced Remote Sensing (MARS) software suite.
The MARS software suite is a robust, production-grade Windows application designed to manage, visualize, process, and analyze LiDAR data with powerful visualization capabilities and performance.
Weve redesigned the MARS software to support a robust end-user environment as well as to provide high-performance data processing functions. Many new features and product enhancements have been added to the application, which now fully supports Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. I expect that MARS will appeal to a wide variety of commercial, government and academic users, said Gary Outlaw, vice president, business development, geospatial technologies.
This newest version of MARS will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS)/Management Association for Private Photogrammetric Surveyors (MAPPS) 2009 Fall conference to be held in San Antonio, Texas from Nov. 16 to 19, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk Hotel. The demonstration will be conducted at Merrick & Companys exhibit. The software is developed and sold by the geospatial technologies division of Merrick & Company and additional product information is located at www.merrick.com/MARS.
