LINE MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD

A line measurement device that has three line-sensor cameras (1, 2, 3) for imaging overhead lines (8, 9) disposed on both sides and in the center of a vehicle (10) and measures the heights and deviations of the overhead lines (8, 9) through image processing using an image processing device (100) that uses stereo measurement of the images of the overhead lines (8, 9) imaged by the three line-sensor cameras (1, 2, 3), said line measurement device being characterized in that the line sensor camera (3) disposed in the center of the vehicle (10) has, as the imaging range thereof, the entirety of a range (E) in which a crossing line (9) is present as an overhead line and the line sensor cameras (1, 2) disposed on both sides of the vehicle (10) each have, as the imaging range thereof, a range of one half of the crossing line range (E) halved by a center line (C) of the vehicle (10).
