A position measurement system for measuring positional coordinates of a
point under measurement includes a first noise removal unit, a parameter
determination unit and a second noise removal unit. The first noise
removal unit removes noise from the measured positional coordinates to
acquire first positional coordinate values. The parameter determination
unit determines a noise removal parameter on a basis of the first
positional coordinate values. The second noise removal unit again removes
noise from the first positional coordinate values with using the noise
removal parameter, to acquire second positional coordinate values.
