Abstract
A projection pattern as an image obtained by compositing the first two-dimensional pattern image and the second two-dimensional pattern image is projected onto an object, and the object onto which the projection pattern has been projected is captured. The three-dimensional shape information of the object is measured based on the projection pattern and the captured image. When a region formed from one or a plurality of pixels is set as the first unit area, and a region having a size larger than that of the first unit area is set as the second unit area, each first unit area of the first two-dimensional pattern image is assigned with one of a plurality of pixel values, and each second unit area of the second two-dimensional pattern image is assigned with one of the plurality of pixel values.
