Abstract: A non-solid material detection device, comprising: a processing circuit; an image sensor; a first light source, configured to emit first light following a first direction; a second light source, configured to emit second light following a second direction. If the non-solid material detection device is located on the surface, the first direction is toward a surface and the second direction is leaving or parallel with the surface. The processing circuit determines an obstacle based on a second sensing image generated according to the second light and determines non-solid material based on a first sensing image generated according to the first light. The present invention also discloses a distance computing device. Via the present invention, the non-solid material detection and the distance computing can be more accurate.

Abstract: A sensor device includes an image sensing array, a frame buffer, a first read line, a second read line and an energy accumulator. The image sensing array is configured to sense reflected light from a working surface and includes a plurality of sensing pixels and a plurality of self-powered pixels. The sensing pixels respectively output image data according to the sensed reflected light. The self-powered pixels respectively output photocurrent according to the sensed reflected light. The first read line is coupled between the sensing pixels and the frame buffer. The second read line is coupled between the self-powered pixels and the frame buffer. The energy accumulator stores electrical energy of the photocurrent via a charge path between the self-powered pixels and the energy accumulator.

Abstract: There is provided a moving robot including a light projector, an image sensor and a processing unit. The light projector projects a vertical light segment toward a moving direction. The image sensor captures, toward the moving direction, an image frame containing a light segment image associated with the vertical light segment. The processing unit calculates a step distance and a segment feature according to the image frame, outputs a flag signal according to the segment feature to indicate whether the calculated step distance is confident or not, and perform a pixel interpolation in calculating the step distance to improve the identification accuracy.
