Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: a light receiving part for receiving a reflected light reflected from a physical object; an image capturing optical part for completing imaging as an object image by distorting an actual image of said physical object due to distortion aberration in response to said reflected light; an image capturing part for capturing said object image as a captured image; a displaying part for displaying said captured image; a graded scale generating part for generating a graded scale to be used for indicating a dimension of said physical object in said captured image; a data storing part for storing data for correction to be used in order to correct a graded scale shape by adding distortion to said generated graded scale in the similar degree to distortion caused by said distortion aberration; a graded scale shape correcting part for generating a shape-distorted graded scale by correcting said graded scale shape according to said data for correction; an image combining part for combining said generated shape-distorted graded scale with said captured image, wherein said displaying part displays said captured image combined with said shape-distorted graded scale; a laser light source for irradiating a laser light to said physical object; a light separating part for separating a laser light component as a component of said laser light from said reflected light; and a distance calculating part for calculating a distance-to-object indicating a distance between said physical object and said light receiving part, based on said laser light component, wherein said graded scale generating part comprises:
