Abstract:
In a shape measuring apparatus, an image processing unit derives, based on a calculated disparity, absolute distance information about a first imaging target located in a common image region from a shape measuring apparatus. The image processing unit reconstructs a 3D shape of each of imaging subjects including the first and second imaging subjects based on the sequential monochrome images.

Claim (Index 5):
A shape measuring method comprising:\n capturing, using a first imaging device having a first field of view defined based on a first view angle, sequential monochrome images based on the first field of view; capturing, using a second imaging device having a second field of view defined based on a second view angle, \u03b1 color image based on the second field of view, the second view angle being narrower than the first view angle, the first and second fields of view having a common field of view; calculating a disparity between a common image region of a selected one of the monochrome images and the color image, the selected monochrome image being substantially synchronized with the color image, the common image region having a field of view that is common to the second field of view of the second imaging device, the imaging subjects including at least a first imaging subject located in the common image region and a second imaging subject located at least partly outside the common image region; deriving, based on the calculated disparity, absolute distance information about the first imaging target from a predetermined reference point; and reconstructing a three-dimensional shape of each of the imaging subjects including the first and second imaging subjects based on the sequential monochrome images.
