A method of measuring of the present invention includes the steps of
photographing a rotating body with the curved surface having marks to
obtain two-dimensional images thereof; generating a three-dimensional
imaginary body with the curved surface having marks; setting an arbitrary
posture of the imaginary body as a reference posture, performing a
posture displacement operation in such a way that the marks of the
imaginary body are coincident with the marks of the body; specifying a
three-dimensional posture of the body on the basis of an amount of the
posture displacement operation relative to the reference posture; and
determining the rotational amount of the body and the direction of the
rotational axis thereof by computing a rotation matrix relating to a
rotation operation to make the three-dimensional posture of the body at
one time coincident with that at another time.
