The invention discloses a method for improving bridge deflection testing precision based on an inclinometer. The method is mainly used for improving the bridge deflection testing precision by three aspects of temperature error compensation, improvement of signal-to-noise ratio through band-pass filtering, and improvement of a deflection calculation method based on a dip angle value. The method comprises the following steps of a, carrying out temperature calibration on a to-be-used inclinometer in a one-to-one manner, b, acquiring inclination angles corresponding to a plurality of designated positions on the bridge, c, carrying out temperature drift error correction on the obtained inclination angle values by adopting respective pre-calibrated inclinometer temperature error compensation formulas, d, adopting a band-pass filtering algorithm for preprocessing the dip angle values, and eliminating noise influence, and e, adopting an improved conformal spline function fitting method to calculate the bridge deflection. According to the method, on one hand, the inclinometer measuring point arrangement is free of any restriction, and on the other hand, the calculation precision of an original test method is greatly improved, and the dynamic deflection of the bridge can be monitored in real time.
