1. A contour measuring device, comprising:
a pair of guide rails;
a movable fixture movably disposed on the guide rails;
a first probe for measuring an object along a contour measuring direction and obtaining a first measured contour value from the object to be measured;
a second probe for measuring a standard object whose contour is known along the contour measuring direction and obtaining a second measured contour value from the standard object; and
an error correcting unit for compensating the first measured contour value according to the second measured contour value.
