Abstract
A position measuring apparatus detects, from respective first and second imaging planes of first and second captured images, first and second corresponding points estimated to represent a common three-dimensional position. The apparatus calculates first to fourth projected points. Each of the first and second projected points represents a projected point of the first corresponding point on a corresponding one of the first and second common planes. Each of the third and fourth projected points represents a projected point of the second corresponding point on a corresponding one of the first and second common planes. The apparatus calculates a first beam connecting the first and second projected points, a second beam connecting the third and fourth projected points, and a point having a minimum square distance relative to each of the first and second beams as a restored point representing the three-dimensional position of the first and second corresponding points.
