METHOD FOR CREATING A 3D DIGITAL MODEL OF ONE OR MORE AIRCRAFT ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO PRODUCE AUGMENTED REALITY IMAGES

Method for creating a 3D digital model of at least one aircraft element in order to produce augmented reality image(s), the method including the steps of: a) scanning, at least one element of an aircraft so as to produce a set of digitised points representative of the 3-dimensional shape of the element, then, using a computer and/or at least one computer processing unit; b) forming, from the set of digitised points, at least one 3D mesh representative of the shape of the element; c) modifying a replica of the given mesh so as to add a missing geometric pattern corresponding, in particular, to a pattern of the element located in its inner volume and/or which is located outside the field of view of the scanner during the scanning in step a).
