Abstract
This preliminary project report proposes a low-cost quality assurance step for digital documentation workflows using consumer-grade LiDAR on mobile smart devices. We explore if LiDAR-generated meshes can be used to scale photogrammetry models post hoc, addressing scaling errors caused by human input. Preliminary tests on replica cultural heritage objects show scaling accuracy within 3.5% of photogrammetric reference models, with minimal local deviation. The method is fast, relatively low-cost, and requires almost no specialized training, making it a practical fallback in constrained field conditions. While not a replacement for traditional methods, it has the capacity to improve the reliability of digitization workflows with minimal overhead.
