The effect of using Scaniverse and a handy 3D scanner together

Abstract

This paper examines the combined use of Scaniverse and the handheld 3D scanner “3DSL-Vega" for recording cultural assets. Developed as a smartphone application, Scaniverse was utilized on an iPhone 12 to capture data, shared via Google Drive. Key successes include the 3D modeling of inscriptions and structures on cultural assets such as lanterns and gravestones. However, limitations remain in capturing finer details. While Scaniverse's Gaussian Splatting mode proved effective for broad-range data acquisition, it showed constraints in obtaining detailed coordinate information. The findings emphasize the effectiveness of combining Scaniverse with a handheld 3D scanner to achieve more precise and comprehensive records of cultural assets.
