| Measuring accuracy for the integrated manufacturing and precision assembly process must be guaranteed by large-size coordinate measuring technology, especially by large-size coordinate measuring technology for long distance in a series of basic industry and heavy industry. Large-size coordinate measurement systems must be established, calibrated and traced in the industrial field. Due to bad field conditions, there is lack of the general theory about the formation of global measuring stations and the analysis method for error distribution, synthesis and transmission between multiple instruments. It brings forward high request for measurement process with high precision, high efficiency and high automation because of complex field of work environment and the huge space. Large-size measurement process for long distance has had an important impact on the development of national equipment manufacturing industry and related fields.Combined with image processing technology, modern control theory, image tracking theory, evolutionary algorithms and other key technologies, the related theory about optimal disposition for multiple sensors and the target location accuracy analysis based on laser electronic theodolites large-size measurement system is studied in the paper, and a target tracking and spatial coordinates positioning process based on machine vision is implemented.
