Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/008031
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a measuring method or measuring apparatus, wherein a time needed to measure the whole shape of a surface to be inspected can be shortened. A plurality of measuring ranges are respectively set such that, with a part of the surface to be inspected as one measuring range, each measuring range forms an overlapping region with at least a part of one other measuring range. Then, the shape of the surface to be inspected is measured with first resolution within a first measuring range among the measuring ranges, and is measured with second resolution within a second measuring range. Using the measurement data, the shape of the surface to be inspected is calculated by combining the data of the shapes of the surfaces within the measuring ranges.
