Faro scan, noise lines originating from scan center

[fifteen3617]

Hi,

I'm working with Faro scan data and in situations where the scanner is very close to the objects, the scanner seems to create a lot of noise near edges. Specifically vertical "lines" originating from the scanner location.

I couldn't find any info on these on the forum, perhaps these are a Faro feature and a rare situation, but for me they appear on every scan when the scanner is nearby the object and scan time is (unreasonably) long.

If anyone has any suggestions for a workflow to filter these out, I'd be very happy! I was thinking of a way to isolate lines that eminate from the scanner location, but of course these aren't really lines, but points...

Here's a better explanation by Faro on the issue, Scene seems to have a built-in filter for these.

Wow, that's a lot of noise... so much that I don't see any obvious way to filter it personally...
