Abstract: An optical detecting device with a tracking function includes an image acquiring module and a processor. The image acquiring module is grouped into a first cluster and a second cluster of pixels. The first cluster and the second cluster are arranged adjacent to each other, and used to respectively acquire a first imaging result and a second imaging result both containing an indicating mark. The processor is electrically connected to the image acquiring module and adapted to track a proceeding direction of the indicating mark by computing difference between the first imaging result and the second imaging result. The optical detecting device further includes a memory module electrically connected to the processor, and the processor analyzes the computed difference via a lookup table stored inside the memory module to determine the proceeding direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to an optical encoder which is configured to provide precise coding reference data by feature recognition technology. To apply the present disclosure, it is not necessary to provide particular dense patterns on a working surface. The precise coding reference data can be generated by detecting surface features of the working surface.

Abstract: An optical sensor system for determining trajectory of a wheel includes: a wheel mounted in a wheel arch having an outer surface covered with evenly-spaced wheel treads; an optical sensor mounted in the wheel arch but not touching the wheel, for performing a plurality of counts corresponding to respectively capturing a plurality of images of the wheel according to the wheel treads, and comparing the captured images with a reference image to determine a 2D displacement. The optical sensor further performs a calculation to convert the measured 2D displacement of the wheel from its original position into a distance the wheel travels along a path in order to determine the wheel trajectory.

Abstract: An optical sensor system mounted in a wheel arch of a car for determining trajectory of the car includes: a first optical sensor mounted in the wheel arch above a wheel and located behind a first clear casing that does not touch the wheel; and a second optical sensor mounted in the wheel arch on one side of the wheel and located behind a second clear casing that does not touch the wheel. The first optical sensor and second optical sensor perform a plurality of counts corresponding to respectively capturing a plurality of images of the wheel. The captured images are compared with a reference image to determine a 2D displacement of the wheel from its original position. The trajectory of the car is determined by calculating a turning degree of the wheel according to a trigonometric manipulation of the measured 2D displacement.
