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 1):
A shape measuring apparatus comprising:\n a first imaging device having a first field of view defined based on a first view angle, the first imaging device being configured to capture sequential monochrome images based on the first field of view; a second imaging device having a second field of view defined based on a second view angle, the second imaging device being configured to capture a 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; and an image processing unit configured to:\n calculate 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; \n derive, based on the calculated disparity, absolute distance information about the first imaging target from the shape measuring apparatus; and \n reconstruct a three-dimensional shape of each of the imaging subjects including the first and second imaging subjects based on the sequential monochrome images.
