Abstract: 

We have developed a software for the detection and characterisation  of defects based on the analysis of 3D point clouds provided by a scanner. This software has been developed within an industrial application dealing with the control of an aircraft fuselage surface. It could be also used for other applications like the detection of defects on a car body surface
