Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an equipment state detecting device, an equipment state detecting method, and a program that can create a 3D model of a cable based on three-dimensional coordinates acquired using a laser scanner or the like, and precisely estimate the tension for the entirety of the cable even if the entirety of the cable is not three-dimensionally modeled in the cable model. An equipment state detecting device of the present invention creates a 3D model of a cable based on three-dimensional coordinates acquired using a laser scanner or the like, acquires a sag and a straight line connecting ends of the 3D model based on the 3D model, and calculates the tension of the cable using a known cable load per unit length.
