Abstract
It is possible to perform three-dimensional shape measurement with easy processing, regardless of whether an object is moving or not. An image capturing unit () captures a captured image (I) including both a real image (I) of the object (R) and a mirror (). A light amount changing unit () changes a light amount of a virtual image (I). An image separating unit (captured image separating unit) specifies, as a virtual image (Ib), an image in a region having a different light amount (R), in a captured image (Ia) in which the light amount is changed and a captured image (Ib) in which the light amount is not changed, and specifies an image in a region having the same light amount (R) as a real image (Ib). A three dimensional shape is reconstructed from the real image and so on that are specified.
