A method for dynamically setting a scale for performing a cross-correlation check between a reference image and a comparison image of a mouse includes: setting a plurality of scale sizes for a cross-correlation check; providing a look up table (LUT) mapping the plurality of scale sizes to a plurality of overlapped areas of the reference image and comparison image and a plurality of predicted locations for the cross-correlation; determining a velocity of motion of the mouse, and using the determined velocity to generate a predicted location; inputting the predicted location to the LUT and mapping to a scale size; and performing the cross-correlation check according to the scale size.
