<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring method and a measuring apparatus capable of simply and automatically measuring multiple measuring points within a required measuring range at a high speed. <P>SOLUTION: This measuring apparatus includes: a ranging unit 8 for applying ranging light, receiving reflected ranging light from measuring points, and ranging the measuring points; an image pickup unit 7 for acquiring a digital image of a measuring range; a ranging optical axis deflection unit 16 deflecting a ranging optical axis of the ranging light; an angle measuring unit 9 measuring an angle of the ranging optical axis; an image processing unit 14 processing the digital image to extract the measuring points; and a control arithmetic unit 21. The control arithmetic unit detects the angles of the measuring points from the digital image and controls the ranging optical axis deflection unit to sequentially turn the ranging optical axis towards the measuring points based on the detected angles and perform the ranging of the measuring points. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
