ABSTRACT:
An image measuring apparatus includes an approximate position measuring portion for approximately obtaining, from a pair of images of a subject for measurement in different directions, positional information of the subject for measurement in each of the images. A data setting portion, having one image of the pair of images set as a reference image and the other image as a searched image, sets up, in accordance with the positional information obtained in the approximate position measuring portion, reference data blocks in the reference image and sets up searched areas in the searched image and searched data blocks in the searched area. A correspondence determining portion obtains correspondence between the searched data block set up in the searched area and the reference data block. The data setting portion, in accordance with the positional information obtained in the approximate position measuring portion, performs at least either setting up of the reference data blocks in the reference image or setting up of the searched areas and setting up of the searched data blocks in the searched image.
