A three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus includes a moving frame arranged to surround a measurement space. The moving frame is arranged to be movable in a vertical direction. A plurality of sensors is disposed opposite to each other on two opposite sides of the moving frame and are arranged to effect a horizontal scanning of light to measure distances to a human body being measured. A driving mechanism moves the moving frame. An analyzer calculates distances to the human body, based on output signals from respective sensors, to analyze data of a surface position of the human body, i.e., a three-dimensional shape thereof. The apparatus further includes a placement state on which the human body is placed. Since the sensors are located so as to face the front and the back of the human body, the apparatus can also measure portions below an armpit and below a crotch.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A three-dimensional scanning apparatus for detecting a three-dimensional shape of an object placed in a measurement space in a non-contact manner, comprising:a moving frame disposed around said measurement space so as to surround a predetermined axis passing through a center of said measurement space, said moving frame arranged to be movable in a direction of said predetermined axis;at least four sensors for measuring distances to surfaces of different portions of said object, said sensors being positioned along a circumferential direction on said moving frame so that a plurality of said at least four sensors are located mainly in each predetermined region on two opposite sides of said moving frame, each of said at least four sensors measures a distance to said object by detecting scattered or reflected light from said object;a driving mechanism for moving said moving frame in a direction of said predetermined axis;a position detector for detecting and outputting a position of said moving frame in the direction of said axis; andan analyzer for calculating data of said distance from each of said at least four sensors to a surface of said object at each moving position of said moving frame, based on outputs from each of said at least four sensors and said position detector, and for analyzing a three-dimensional shape of the surface of said object, based on the data of said distanceswherein optic axes of respective ones of said at least four sensors intersect at different points on a projection surface.
