Welcome back to On the Radar Screen! As our first entry in 2010, we wanted to spread the word about upgrades to Fugro’s 3D viewing software, FugroViewer. While FugroViewer is a standard deliverable on all GeoSAR projects, it’s also available to anyone (for free!) at www.fugroviewer.com.

The software was originally released in January 2009 as a tool for technical and non-technical users to view, analyze, and communicate 3D geospatial data. It’s been a big hit. Designed for use with photogrammetric, LiDAR, and IFSAR data, FugroViewer now has hundreds of users in business, government, and university settings.

Upgrades to the new version include: enhanced memory management, additional LiDAR format support (including LAS version 2), additional image format support (including ERDAS Imagine).

Give it a try and let us know what you think!
