The Model Yellow River is a physical model of the Yellow River in laboratory, the work of the terrain survey using traditional instrument is very hard and time-consuming. In recent years, the laser scanning for 3D surface shows the outstanding traits of speediness, precision and convenience. The measurement principles and processing system of the laser scan instrument for terrain survey were introduced in this paper, and a typical example indicated that the 3D laser scan system can obtain much precise information from the Model Yellow River. The laser scan data can be utilized in many research directions, such as river way movement and evolvement rule, silt-controlled, etc.
