ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional measurement apparatus of a slit light (or pseudo slit light) projection type that is adapted to prevent deterioration of measurement accuracy and to be easily miniaturized. Detected positions C1, C2are adopted that are determined so as to correspond to scanning lines on each of which a number of brightened pixels falls within an allowable range are detected. The allowable range varies from Nav × amin to Nav × amax or from Nav−β to Nav +γ, where Nav is an average of the numbers of brightened pixels detected on scanning lines for each of which at least one pixel is determined, and amin, amax, β, and γ are minimum proper ratio, maximum proper ratio, subtract number of pixels, and add number of pixels, respectively, which are set in advance as parameters.
