Measuring Method And Measuring Device

Abstract

The invention provides a measuring device, comprising a distance measuring unit 8 for performing distance measurement on a measuring point by projecting a distance measuring light and by receiving a reflected distance measuring light from the measuring point, an image pickup unit 7 for acquiring a digital image of a measurement range, a distance measuring optical axis deflecting unit 16 for deflecting a distance measuring optical axis of the distance measuring light, an angle measuring unit 9 for measuring an angle of the distance measuring optical axis, an image processing unit 14 for extracting the measuring point through image processing of the digital image, and a control arithmetic unit 21, wherein the control arithmetic unit detects an angle of the measuring point on the digital image, controls the distance measuring optical axis deflecting unit based on the detected angle, directs the distance measuring optical axis toward the measuring point one after another and measures a distance to the measuring point.
