LAKE MARY, Fla., May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ:FARO) the world leader in portable
computer-aided measurement hardware and software, announced it has
released FARO Scene 4.5, the latest version of its scanning
software that advances productivity, mobility and ease of use of
the Company's Photon and LS Laser Scanners. FARO Scene 4.5 offers:
-- Cluster Registration: Scans can now be combined into clusters
and aligned relative to each other, eliminating the need for
external targets. -- Slab Object Recognition/Registration:
Automatically accounts for common slab thicknesses, such as wall
and doors, thus increasing the accuracy of the scans and reducing
post-scan processing time. -- Registration with Pipes and Multiple
Planes: Speeds scanning alignment by allowing users to perform
registration with common facility objects, including pipes and flat
surfaces. -- Checkerboard Paper Target Registration: Instead of
relying entirely on reference spheres to align the scans, 4.5 now
enables users to align with checkerboard paper targets -- the most
common method across industries and workflows -- therefore
surveying with total stations becomes easier. -- Enhanced 3-D
Visualization: Improved scan clarity, a new gap-filling feature and
a gradient background color for even more realistic imaging. --
Better Color Performance: Eliminates distortion by allowing the
user to realign the color overlay. "The new FARO Scene offers users
broad improvements and advanced features for better scanning
results," explained Dr. Bernd-Dietmar Becker, FARO's Director of
Laser Scanner Marketing and Product Management. "The software is
more user-friendly and meets the requirements of the growing
scanner market." About FARO With approximately 17,000 installations
