LAKE MARY, Fla., Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- FARO® (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most
trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for public
safety forensics and construction BIM, announces the release of
SCENE 2019 (http://www.faro.com/scene), an advanced, integrated
software platform that optimizes the FARO Focus Laser Scanner
product family. SCENE 2019 is specifically designed to evolve the
3D reality capture, analysis and documentation experience across
the public safety forensics segment for crash, crime, fire and
security planning and Traceable ConstructionTM
for Architecture, Engineering and Construction
markets.
Process Scans Up to 50% Faster
A breakthrough FARO
innovation in SCENE 2019 allows the laser scanner CPU (Central
Processing Unit) to be leveraged at nearly 100% of capacity and
reduces scan processing time by up to 50%. Additionally, this
efficiency scales up accordingly as additional CPU cores are
added.
Significantly Reduce Clean up
Another FARO
innovation, Moving Objects Filter, enables automated
ghosting or easy removal of undesirable objects moving through a
scene e.g. people or vehicles. This significantly reduces data
cleanup time and effort for unwanted items.
Easily Merge Scans from Different Locations
Advanced
new functionality now enables a section of a point cloud to be
exported from SCENE into FARO Zone 3D software, or other 3rd party
software packages, where they can be displayed in color and
manipulated as a 3D model. It is now much easier to merge scans for
FARO Zone 3D from different locations. For example, in a crash
reconstruction, a user can first scan the roadway where a crash
occurred, scan the vehicles at the impound lot and then integrate
the meshed point clouds in FARO Zone 3D.
"We can create some of the fastest 3D reality capture equipment
in the world, but it has limited value if the data captured is
cumbersome and slow to process," stated Andreas Gerster, Vice President Construction
BIM. "FARO continues to uniquely innovate in this area in SCENE
2019 with the introduction of artificial intelligence to filter out
moving objects, expansion of the software's flexibility and
quantifiable, advanced workflow improvements."
