Abstract

A method for measuring displacement of a large-range moving platform, comprising: arranging multiple beams of first measuring light parallel to one another and generated by an optical path distribution device and a position sensitive detector array in a certain manner, to ensure that at least one beam of first measuring light is detected by the position sensitive detector array when a moving platform is at any position of a moving area; a detection head array capable of determining whether a light beam is shaded being used for auxiliary measurement of a position of the moving platform; and determining a position of the moving platform that corresponds to the first measuring light measured by the position sensitive detector array, to calculate displacement of the moving platform. The method effectively enlarges a measurement range of the position sensitive detector array, and implements measurement of long range displacement of the moving platform.
