“I am really liking what this unit can do in the dark with HDR. The iSTAR could be applied to crime scenes, caves, tunnels and manufacturing.” – Eugene Liscio, Forensic Expert.

Test: To compare the low light capability of iSTAR HDR and FARO FOCUS 3D!

So, another test this evening for which I think brings about a lot of strengths of the iStar. I am really liking what this unit can do in the dark with HDR.

So, here are some images to show you the difference between the Focus 3D in low light conditions!

First, here is what the FARO scanner was able to produce in low light conditions.

There is a street lamp that illuminates part of the yard but it makes for a lot of contrast with the shadows.

Below is what the iSTAR was able to capture using ISO at 1600 and Auto HDR.

“I can see how the iSTAR could be applied to crime and accident scenes, but just as well to caves, tunnels, manufacturing facilities.”
