AB  - The proposal of scanning and digitizing of prong test samples used for casehardening of wood is provided. The measurement of magnitude and stress state of residual stresses is usually done by prong test samples. Recently the numerical approach of given problem is more and more applied. To verify the credibility of the model, the comparison with factual specimen is needed. Therefore, the optimal methodological approach and process of specimen digitizing is out of demand. There are two means how to scan the samples, (1) using the analogical camera or (2) scanner. Both means has bean tested. The results of scanning actual prong test samples show that application of scanner gives us more satisfactory outputs.
