GRS has developed dozens of applications for the automation and enhancement MapInfo.  Our client applications include Forestry, Mining, Geologic Exploration, Oil Spill Response, Municipal Planning, Utilities, and Transportation.

• InBuffer -- Create a buffer internal to a region boundary.  The user can specify the buffer width, with units of measure, and target table.
  
• Percentile Mapper -- Enhance thematic mapping by creating a graduated symbol map based on percentile cutoffs.  This program was written specifically for the mining industry; however, it can easily be customized for many other applications.

The Densitometer is an inovative tool for the unbiased sampling of land cover densities.  Our customers use the Densitometer for vegetation assessment, soils, and ground cover evaluation for a variety of applications.  To enhance the utiltiy of the Densitometer, GRS has developed data collection and summary software.  These applications allow the user to enter data collected with the Densitometer directly into a hand-held or portable computer.

• trans_in -- Edit and process your transect data as you collect it in the field. Trans_in is compatible with any hand-held data recorder that is DOS compatible.  This program was written specifically for data collection with the GRS Densitometer. You can download a free copy of trans_in.
• trans_sum -- Processes the data collected with trans_in. Trans_sum is extremely useful for generating vegetation cover descriptions while in the field or back at the office.  This program was written specifically for summarization of data from the GRS Densitometer.

GRS has developed specialized algorithms and applications to enable the extraction of complex features from digital imagery.  The most noteworthy processes GRS has developed for image processing include GRS_polysum and GRS_aggregate. These two processes are instrumental in the processing of image class maps and the aggregation of large scale raster data into smaller scale vector-based polygon databases.

Most applications require custom software to effectively use the generic capabilities of a GIS for client-specific applications.  GRS has developed applications for forest inventory, resource modeling, wildlife habitat classifications, and stream flow and sediment load analysis.
