A stereoscopic measurement system captures stereo images and determines measurement information for user-designated points within stereo images. The system (100) comprises an image capture device (106) for capturing stereo images of an object (104). A processing system communicates with the capture device to receive stereo images. The processing system displays the stereo images and allows a user to select one or more points within the stereo image. The processing system processes the designated points within the stereo images to determine measurement information for the designated points.
