Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are a method of and a device for crystal diameter measurement in an apparatus for automatically controlling single crystal growth by the CZ technique. In the diameter measurement method, a growing region of a single crystal 32 is photographed by a camera 38, and an outer diameter DO of an luminous ring image 70 having a luminance above a reference value E is detected from a video signal supplied from the camera 38, the diameter D0 thus detected being used for crystal diameter control. The crystal diameter measuring device comprises: a camera 38 for photographing a growing section of a single crystal 32 and supplying a video signal; devices for detecting a maximum video signal value with respect to one scanning line or more; a device for obtaining a reference value E corresponding to the above-mentioned maximum value; devices for binary-coding the video signal in comparison with the reference value E; and a device for detecting the outer diameter D0 of a luminous image from a binary image obtained by the binary-coding.
