The present invention relates to a measuring apparatus, method and program with which a distance between two points that are not within one photographing range can be easily measured. In an image in which a start point is set, a specified position address calculation circuit 43 stores the coordinates of the start point, and a representative point setting circuit 44 sets a representative point, and stores the coordinates thereof, and characteristic quantity of the neighborhood image. Hereafter in each image until an image in which an end point is set, a representative point searching circuit 45 searches a representative point of the most recent image and stores the coordinates thereof, and the representative point setting circuit 44 sets a new representative point, and stores the coordinates thereof and the characteristic quantity of the neighborhood image. The specified position address calculation circuit 43 stores the coordinates of the end point in the image in which the end point is set. A vector calculation unit 61 calculates a vector between the respective two points connecting the start point, representative points and the end point in the sequence of setting, and a distance calculation unit calculates the distance between the start point and the end point based on the magnitude of the vector from the start point to the end point. The present invention can be applied to, for example, a measuring system using a microscope. |
