<p>With this position measurement method, a mark which has been formed upon an object is illuminated with an illumination beam, a beam which is generated from this mark is picked up via an observation system, and the resultant image signal is signal processed so as to measure positional information which is related to the mark. This signal processing is performed based upon information related to the noise which is included in the component dependent upon the amount of light which is included in the image signal, and upon said image signal. As a result, it is possible to measure the positional information for the mark with good accuracy, even if noise is included in the image signal.</p> |
