1. A method for measuring a three-dimensional position of an object to be captured comprising providing a laser measuring unit having an image recognition camera confronting the object and a first and a second laser emitting light source, emitting from the first laser emitting light source laser light for irradiating a lateral slit light onto the object from a slant direction relative to a vertical axis of a vision coordinate system, and emitting from the second laser emitting light source further laser light for irradiating a vertical slit light from a slant direction relative to a lateral axis of the vision coordinate system, one slit image on the vertical axis of the object and one slit image on the lateral axis thereof and one of the slit images on the vertical and lateral axes thereof formed before and after the laser measuring unit is moved a predetermined amount in a direction of a camera optical axis relative to the object are taken into the camera, and calculating the three-dimensional position of the object from the relationship between a predetermined moving amount of the laser measuring unit and deviation of the slit images on vision coordinates of the coordinate system.
