iSTAR Fusion

The iSTAR Fusion 360° panoramic camera is suitable for various imaging applications and for RGB color overlay for laser scanner data. iSTAR Fusion is the perfect camera to take panoramic photos for your scans if your laser scanner does not have an integrated color camera or the color quality of the photos is not satisfactory. Use the panoramic images to colorize your point clouds from scan projects.

Create high-resolution images of your surroundings in seconds and fully automatically. You can also use the iSTAR images, for example, to precisely visualize an accident site in 3D and thus secure evidence in the shortest possible time.

With the portable camera iSTAR Fusion you have maximum flexibility. The small and light camera is suitable for indoor and outdoor recordings. The robust housing protects the valuable technology from bumps, splash water and dust.

Operate the camera intuitively via the touchscreen and quickly create 360° panoramic images of your surroundings at the touch of a button. Images are taken using the camera's four lenses, which are then seamlessly combined in an internal process. The result: a 360° panoramic image.

You can then process your results as you wish. Thanks to standard output formats, iSTAR results are compatible with any third-party software.

You can easily share your results with others via the "iSTARshare" platform, which can be used free of charge. The results can be displayed on different end devices. And if you only want authorized users to access a project, simply assign a password.
