Faro Premium stream
Faro premium, there are some of you who use the app stream for realtime recording, how do you find it? is it functional? in large projects over 30 scans is it usable? do we have any feedback?
Thanks Andrea

Re: Faro Premium stream
I did a quick test on our old office which is a extremely challenging space for cloud to cloud, really good for testing scanners. It did great, I stretched it too far just to see what it would do. I was able to easily fix it on the app easily. I just went back and took an extra scan, repositioned it and it repaired the rest automatically. It's so much better than onsite registration. It's fast in the field. Bringing it onto the computer was no problems, everything was already registered. You do have to import project, you can't just copy rawscans
For right now, all our current projects are huge and we only have limited time but I am excited to use it more when I get a chance.

Re: Faro Premium stream
Just want to shim in and say your office is not an "extremely" challenging space. It is by far that, it is actually close to ideal conditions for c2c registration.Justin Richards wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 9:18 pm I did a quick test on our old office which is a extremely challenging space for cloud to cloud, really good for testing scanners.
Altough I am never a fan of c2c only registration. Please check your inclinometer missmatches before saying your c2c is perfect.
Challenging conditions involves gravel, rocks, poor overlap, wind that makes the trees shake, grass, vegetation, wet surfaces from rain. Scene really never shines in c2c only conditions and I really don't want any wrong information about this spread around and wish Faro would focus in fixing this with a different algorythm (see this thread of mine about this)

A geat softwares that ignore those challenging surfaces is riescan. It has one of those amazing algorythms that you just need to see to understand.

Also repeating surfaces with few unique features, such as many tunnels, highways, canals and other man made linear infrastructure. C2C is the wrong approach in these circumstances regardless of algorithm, you really need external control.Leandre Robitaille wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 1:30 amChallenging conditions involves gravel, rocks, poor overlap, wind that makes the trees shake, grass, vegetation, wet surfaces from rain.

I know it looks really simple but it has always had issues. I couldn't find that project but here are two that I had put together that I ran top view registration on. Faro comes here to test their equipment.
We have a lot of spheres and use those for most jobs. I did use the Stream while out of town because the supplies did not arrive until the second day. It was in a room with 8 generators and I did have to manually move some scans but overall it was fine. I just took extra scans.

Re: Faro Premium stream
RiScan is sweet until you need to do visual qa/qc on a couple hundred to a couple thousand scans, or identify select and correct a handful out of the bunch when the errors don't show up in the msa reports....Leandre Robitaille wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 1:30 amJust want to shim in and say your office is not an "extremely" challenging space.

Re: Faro Premium stream
You must think of making a bunch of clusters. 1 scan project per cluster and start using the import functions.TommyMaddox wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 12:25 amRiScan is sweet until you need to do visual qa/qc on a couple hundred to a couple thousand scans, or identify select and correct a handful out of the bunch when the errors don't show up in the msa reports....Leandre Robitaille wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 1:30 amJust want to shim in and say your office is not an "extremely" challenging space.

I will make a project of the exterior and staircases in 1 loop. This is on tight control.
For each floor i make a new project and import the corresponding scans from the staircase and maybe some exterior ones.
When all is finished and i need a ripano for all, i just make a new project and import all the scans from the sub projects.
Works really well and fast.

I have. When using FARO Flash, it's controlled and pre-registered using FARO Stream.
For the most part, I put out spheres and targets and just go out and scan.

Re: Faro Premium stream
so you don't use the Faro sphere but you use your own spheres? lol (see what I did there? - why did they name their software sphere,,) hahahaJustin Richards wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2023 2:01 pmAugusto 3D wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 11:17 pm
