Abstract
An image photographing device for three-dimensional measurement sequentially photographs a measuring object in an overlapping manner by a single camera. The image photographing device for three-dimensional measurement photographs the measuring object with marks having self-other identifiable identification codes, extracts the marks from a photographed image, identifies the identification codes of the marks, defines an area of the measuring object in the photographed image into photographed areas surrounded by the marks, counts a number of photographing times of each of the photographed areas which are involved in different photographed images, groups the photographed areas in response to the number of photographing times, inputs positions of the marks in a coordinate space of a photographing range image of the measuring object, connects the positions of the marks input in the photographing range image such that mark symbols of the marks surrounding the photographed areas correspond to each other to match the photographed areas into the photographing range image, and indicates the photographed areas matched into the photographing range image.
