Abstract
An automatic measuring system includes a measuring sensor tool that detects a surface of an object to be measured to measure a dimension or a shape of the object to be measured, a moving mechanism that relatively moves the measuring sensor tool with respect to the object to be measured, and an observation camera that images the object to be measured. A position and an orientation (posture) of a point to be measured are acquired from image data obtained by imaging the object to be measured by the observation camera, the measuring sensor tool is caused by the moving mechanism to approach the point to be measured, taking into account a position and posture offset between the observation camera and the measuring sensor tool, and a measurement value of the point to be measured is acquired by the measuring sensor tool.
