(FARO: Lake Mary, FL) -- FARO Technologies Inc., a global provider of 3-D measurement technology, has released SCENE 5.0, the latest in the company’s line of point-cloud-capture processing software for FARO’s Focus3D laser scanner. For the first time, SCENE users can view their scans in true stereoscopic 3-D for unprecedented levels of realism.

SCENE 5.0 contains automatic fine registration, which is a new cloud-to-cloud enhancement that reduces or eliminates the need for placing artificial targets in many scanning applications and significantly reduces post-processing time. Rather than utilizing spheres or checkerboards, the software identifies prominent objects such as corners, edges, and other flat structures within the scan and uses them as reference points. These features help to seamlessly meld together multiple scans to form a single, complete point cloud. This new addition, unique to SCENE 5.0, further expedites the merging of scans between remote users.
