Abstract
A measurement method for measuring a position and a tilt angle of a target object includes the following steps. A pixel deviation between a first pixel and a second pixel of the target object is calculated. The pixel deviation is substituted into a curve of tilt angle versus pixel deviation to obtain the tilt angle of the target object. A first target curve and a second target curve are selected according to the first pixel, the second pixel and the tilt angle. A zero-tilt angle is substituted into the first target curve and the second target curve, respectively, to obtain a pixel at the zero-tilt angle. The pixel at the zero-tilt angle is substituted into a position curve to obtain the position of the target object.
