3D terrestrial laser scanner used to replicate a real military vehicle suitable to conduct static and dynamic tests in a virtual scenario

The aim of this paper is to provide the reader with an accurate description of all the steps and proceduresneeded to use a Laser Scanner as suitable tool for creating 3D models from real objects/environments. By following the steps and procedures described in the paper it is possible to carry out a physical survey of the object being modeled, create a mapping assessment in term of object measurement, execute in a simple and quick way the scanning activity (also in a limited time), use the 3D model for Virtual and Constructive simulations.
