Claim One:
1. A computerized-implemented method of a computing device for measuring widths of measured parts placed on a platform, the computing device electronically connected to one or more charge coupled device (CCD) cameras, the method comprising: (a) controlling each of the CCD cameras to capture a digital image from a measured part that is placed near the CCD cameras, and obtaining the digital image of the measured part from each of the CCD cameras in a predefined order; (b) obtaining a binary expression from the digital image of the measured part; (c) determining whether the measured part is placed in a correct position on the platform according to the binary expression; (d) obtaining three points from an upper boundary of the measured part in the binary expression and another three points from a lower boundary of the measured part in the binary expression when the measured part is placed in the correct position on the platform; and (e) calculating a width of the measured part according to the obtained three points from the upper boundary of the measured part and the obtained three pointed from the lower boundary of the measured part.
