Extended reality technologies are increasingly used in cultural heritage for preserving and accessing sites and artworks, where 3D model acquisition and rendering are key. Despite progress in reconstruction methodologies, a standardized approach to quality assessment is still missing. This study aims to evaluate objective quality metrics —both image-based and model-based, Full Reference and No Reference— applied to 3D models generated using the Structure from Motion algorithm. By varying parameters such as the number of images, number of triangles, and texture resolution, we examine the impact of these factors on metric outcomes, aiming to assess their reliability in cultural heritage applications.
