Faro unveils Scene 5.3 laser scanning software
Faro Technologies has released the latest version of the company's laser scanning software, Scene 5.3. For use with its Laser Scanner Focus3D X Series, Scene 5.3 delivers scan registration by eliminating artificial targets such as spheres and checkerboards. Users can choose from two available registration methods: 'Top-View'-based or 'Cloud-to-Cloud'.
'Top View'-based registration allows for target-less positioning of scans. In interiors and built-up areas without reliable GPS pre-positioning of the individual scans, this represents a highly efficient and largely automated method, says Faro.
The second method, 'Cloud-to-Cloud' registration, opens up new opportunities for the user to position scans quickly and accurately, even under difficult conditions, it is said. In exterior locations with good pre-positioning of the scans, by means of the integrated GPS receiver of the Laser Scanner Focus3D X Series, this is the method of choice for target-less registration.
