Abstract

RealityScan is a free, powerful, photogrammetry-based mobile application that allows users to create high-quality 3D models from real-world objects using just a smartphone or tablet. By capturing multiple photos from different angles, the application processes the images into detailed 3D models that can be used in game development, virtual reality, and other creative projects. RealityScan simplifies the process of photogrammetry, making it accessible to professionals and hobbyists alike. In this paper, traceability assurance method for measurements performed using photogrammetric system built out of smartphone and RealityScan application is presented. It is based on measurements of material standards calibrated in accredited calibration laboratories or National Metrology Institutes, whose reference values are traceable to national measurement standards. The method allows also for assessing the task-specific maximum permissible errors of mentioned photogrammetric system. The paper shows procedures, example of measurements and result analysis. Limitations and possible fields of application of such metrologically traceable system, having in mind the values of maximum permissible errors that were determined, are also discussed.
