As tangible objects, every cultural object has the potential for future damage which can be caused by various things, such as natural disasters, wars, vandalism, weathering of objects, and others. The potential damage to these objects has led to the application of 3D documentation methods called photogrammetry and laser scanning. The ability of these two technologies to record physical objects in the real world into digital data has been considered a documentation method with high accuracy. However, this method has not been widely applied in Indonesia. This condition is caused by several things, namely the high cost of documentation tools, the limited number of human resources and the lack of mastery of new technologies. The existence of smartphones with better quality cameras can be used as a practical and affordable photogrammetric tool. However, there are still very few studies that discuss the use of smartphone-based photogrammetry, which causes optimal usage procedures and the quality of the resulting data is not certain. To find out this, in this study experiments were carried out to determine how the quality of the data generated from the use of the method on various characteristics of the object. The results of these experiments show that the use of smartphone-based photogrammetry can produce data quality that matches the use of DSLR cameras with faster data acquisition times. The results of the experiment are then used as the basis for designing procedures for using smartphone-based photogrammetry as a method of documenting cultural objects.
