1. A three-dimensional data generating system comprising:

  • a three-dimensional measuring unit for measuring a three-dimensional shape of an object, said three-dimensional measuring unit being capable of taking information on the three-dimensional shape at different resolutions;

    a first controller for controlling said three-dimensional measuring unit to take information on a three-dimensional shape of at least a first part of the object at a first resolution, and for controlling said three-dimensional measuring unit to take information on a three-dimensional shape of at least a second part of the object at a second resolution higher than the first resolution; and

    a second controller for integrating the information taken at the first resolution and the information taken at the second resolution thereby generating three-dimensional data having different resolutions for at least part of the object.
