Patent ID: 8553234

Claim:
A shape measurement device comprising: a light irradiation unit which irradiates linear light onto a work; an imaging element which images reflected light of the light irradiated from the light irradiation unit, the reflected light being reflected by the work; and an image-forming lens which forms an image of the reflected light reflected by the work on an imaging plane of the imaging element, wherein a light irradiation plane of the light irradiation unit, a principal plane including a principal point of the image-forming lens, and the imaging plane of the imaging element satisfy a Scheimpflug principle, wherein the shape measurement device further comprises: an image obtaining region selection unit which divides the imaging plane of the imaging element into a plurality of regions, and selects, as an image obtaining region, a region for use in measurement from the plurality of regions in response to at least one of measurement accuracy and a size of a measurement range.
