Abstract
A measuring apparatus includes an optical system including a wavelength dividing element that divides light from an object simultaneously illuminated by first and second illumination units into a light component of a first wavelength and a light component of a second wavelength. A first imaging element receives a pattern light of the first wavelength reflected by the object, which is light transmitted through the wavelength dividing element but never reflected by the wavelength dividing element, thereby obtaining a first image representing a three-dimensional shape of the object. A second imaging element receives the light of the second wavelength reflected by the object, which is light reflected by the wavelength dividing element, thereby obtaining a second image representing an edge of the object.
