Abstract：A new center positioning algorithm of circular mark was put forward,which can fit the ellipse parameters by nonlinear least squares. It improved the ellipse edge detection method in the subpixel positioning algorithm. Moreover the estimating formula for mark location uncertainty was derived, and confidence interval in a certain confidence level was calculated by use of the Monte Carlo integration. An example certificates that the new location algorithm can achieve about 0.02 pixel positioning accuracy which rises nearly 10 times than that with the sub-pixel positioning operator when the photogrammetric scale is 1:75.
