Abstract
A stereo image measuring device capable of facilitating determination as to the correctness of the result of stereo image corresponding point measurement is disclosed. The stereo image measuring device comprises: a first display unit including a normal monitor; a second display unit including a stereo-monitor enabling stereoscopic viewing; a mark formation unit for displaying a mouse cursor; an instruction unit for instructing X, Y and Z directions; a corresponding area search unit for searching a corresponding area with respect to a reference area; a corresponding area position verification unit for verifying the coincidence of the searched area with the position of the reference area; a corresponding area deciding unit for deciding the searched corresponding area as a corresponding area; a storage unit for storing the verification result of the corresponding area position verification unit, the reference area, the corresponding area, and the decided corresponding area decided by the corresponding area deciding unit; a decided corresponding area correction unit for correcting the decided corresponding area; an image storage unit for storing a digitized stereo image; and a display memory for displaying an image. The instruction unit includes a planar direction instruction unit for instructing the planar (X, Y) direction of the reference area by a mouse, and a Z direction instruction unit for instructing a depth (Z) direction during three-dimensional measurement.
