文摘The existing articulated arm coordinate measuring machines（AACMM） with one measurement model are easy to cause low measurement accuracy because the whole sampling space is much bigger than the result in the unstable calibration parameters.

This paper proposes the multiple measurement models to improve the measurement accuracy of AACMM without increasing any hardware cost.
