Multi-Sensor Fusion
As a pioneer in the use of combined, multiple-sensor data collection, Merrick has the unique ability to effectively provide greater accuracy in data collection. To provide the optimum data collection structure and output, Merrick has the ability to integrate up to five highly accurate data collection systems, with all sensors loaded on to one platform. The outcome to the client is a more accurate product that allows for precise measurements and interpretation by the end users.
