There is provided an apparatus and method for three-dimensional
measurements by shining an object to be measured with plural laser beams
while scanning. Even if the optical intensity of laser beams is weak,
light disturbance is accurately separated to perform real-time
three-dimensional measurement. A laser beam emitted from a laser source
is separated into the plural beams of slit light with a predetermined
angle at a hologram plate. These two beams are used for scanning and
irradiating the object by a scanning mirror. These beams are reflected
and read to determine whether or not an interval between these beams
corresponds to the predetermined angle.
