A structured light generator includes a light source configured to emit light, and a first meta optical device including a first metasurface including nanostructures having sub-wavelength dimensions that are less than a wavelength of the light emitted from the light source, the first metasurface being configured to form a distribution of light rays from the light emitted from the light source to thereby radiate structured light.

A shape measurement device and a shape measurement method according to the present invention measure, for first and second distance measurement units which are disposed so as to be opposed to each other with a measurement object to be measured interposed therebetween and each measure a distance to the measurement object, first and second displacements of the first and second distance measurement units in an opposition direction, and obtain, as a shape of the measurement object, a thickness of the measurement object in the opposition direction, the thickness being corrected with the measured first and second displacements, based on first and second distance measurement results measured by the first and second distance measurement units, respectively.
