Abstract
The invention provides a shape measuring device, a shape measuring method, and a shape measuring program capable of accurately and easily positioning a measuring object at a focus of a light receiving unit when measuring the shape of the measuring object. An image of a measuring object captured by a light receiving unit is displayed on a display section, and an arbitrary position on the image of the measuring object is specified by a user. A relative distance between the light receiving unit and a stage is changed so that the specified position coincides with a focus of the light receiving unit. The light emitted from a light projecting unit is reflected by the measuring object and received by the light receiving unit. Stereoscopic shape data of the measuring object is generated by a triangular distance measuring method based on a light receiving signal output by the light receiving unit.
