LAKE
MARY, Fla., Nov. 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- FARO® Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO),
a global leader in 4D digital reality solutions, today announced
the release of a new edition of FARO Zone 3D Software to the public
safety market, equipping crime, crash, fire, and security
professionals with critical new capabilities they need. These
include: advanced graphics; customizable vehicle modeling; and the
ability to measure from photographs through photogrammetry
integrations.
The announced release of FARO Zone 3D Software provides public
safety professionals with a multi-modal, capture-device agnostic
software program that can diagram, document, and analyze forensic
scenes utilizing data from drones, 3D laser scanners, 2D photos and
other traditional measurement devices, leaving no customer and no
data collection method behind.
"This edition of FARO Zone 3D Software is the most versatile yet
for data input and processing — making the most comprehensive scene
documentation software on the market even better," said
Noreen Charlton, Software Product
Marketing Manager at FARO. "Public safety professionals can take
images from almost any capture device — drones, photographs, laser
scanners from a variety of manufacturers, hand-measured data and
more — then model crime and crash scenes in 3D and virtually walk
jurors through a forensic scene with an exceptional level of
realism."
Aiding in achieving that realism, which is critical to solving
and proving cases in the courtroom, Charlton points to a
significant feature in this release of FARO Zone 3D software-
improved point cloud capability. FARO Zone 3D software is
available in two versions, Zone 3D Expert and Zone 3D Pro.
With Zone 3D Expert, which incorporates a new proprietary
photogrammetry engine, FotoPoints, users can convert photographs
into point cloud data. This means, for the first time we are
enabling users to take accurate measurements from 2D photos or 3D
data. Also for the first time, users of 3D Pro can import
point cloud data into the software for inclusion into forensic
scene analysis.
These tools provide the functionality to accurately reconstruct
any scene with multiple sources of data, to create factual
diagrams, photo-realistic visuals, and give users the ability to
create animations in a combined point cloud and panoramic image
environment. Additionally, the camera lock feature allows a user to
freeze a camera view to edit a drawing without changing the view.
This can also be used to align an overlay image or video with a
point cloud. Along with a large library of existing features,
FARO Zone 3D software is the most comprehensive public safety tool
for documentation, training, analysis and presentation.
