Aide a la conception de systemes mobiles de cartographie a scanner laser par simulation

Over the past decade, terrestrial mobile mapping systems have been developing for the digitizing of urban environments. These dynamic systems make it possible to save acquisition time compared to static systems. However, in order to get useful data, the quality of the data must be as good as the quality obtained with fixed systems. Hence, it is necessary to design the system, resolving such issues as completeness, homogeneity, etc. However, il could be difficult to test all the designs in real situation because of time, cost and complexity. Hence, we present in this article, a design approach and a simulator which permits to gain time and cost before prototyping. We show an illustration of this approach with examples of simulation.
