Position measurement system and position measurement method

Abstract

An object is to, in a case where it is necessary to share a common coordinate system by a plurality of position measurers, reduce an error in the coordinate system between the position measurers. A position measurement system allows a plurality of laser trackers to share position measurement of a plurality of measurement points. The laser tracker measures three coordinate definition targets for defining a coordinate system of the measurement points, defines a work coordinate system from measurement results of the three coordinate definition targets, and measure the measurement points allocated to the laser tracker using the defined work coordinate system. The other laser trackers and measure the measurement points allocated to the other laser trackers and using correction vectors based on a positional relationship between the laser tracker and the laser trackers and obtained in advance, and the work coordinate system defined by the one laser tracker.
