MARS (Merrick Advanced Remote Sensing) software offers users the ability to efficiently view and analyze large amounts of LIDAR data. With MARS, over one thousand square miles of data, representing 100 gigabytes of data, can be utilized at the desktop. This eliminates requirements for large and expensive network and database software. LIDAR projects can be viewed in their entirety and exported with minimal computing power.
