Abstract
The present technique relates to an apparatus and a method for measurement, and a program each of which enables distance estimation to be more simply carried out with higher accuracy. A three-dimensional measurement apparatus has a rotation control portion controlling rotation of a photographing portion by a rotation mechanism in such a way that the photographing portion is rotated with a center of rotation as an axis in a state in which a distance from the center of rotation of the rotation mechanism portion to a focal point position of the photographing portion is a constant distance; and a distance calculating portion calculating a distance to an object on a space on the basis of a plurality of photographed images obtained through photographing in positions different from one another by the photographing portion in a state in which the photographing portion is rotated.
