The Role of Modeler�s Background in Affecting 3D Reconstruction Quality

3D reconstruction is one of the methods for 3D digitalization of artefacts for virtual heritage use. However, since the pipeline relies heavily on human intervention, significant deviations could appear between the physical and digital versions as a result of the modeler�s interpretation. By comparing the modeler�s work, work process, and their understanding of the artefact�s historical significance, we can identify that individual skills, knowledge, and cultural experience play a role in how modelers construct a mental model of the artifact. This subsequently affects the resulting 3D model. This knowledge would be helpful in addressing these factors early on during the production process.
