Abstract: A fingerprint sensor device and an operation method thereof are provided. The fingerprint sensor device includes a driving electrode, a driving circuit, a fingerprint sensing plate, a reading circuit and a determination circuit. The driving circuit applies a driving signal to an object through the driving electrode. The fingerprint sensing plate has sensing electrodes configured to sense the object. The reading circuit reads the driving signal through the fingerprint sensing plate. During a period between a rising edge time point and its adjacent falling edge time point of the driving signal, the reading circuit respectively samples the driving signal in at least two different phases to obtain at least two sampling results and outputs a difference value of the at least two sampling results. The determination circuit checks the difference value to determine whether the object to be sensed is a real finger or a fake finger.

Abstract: An image processing method and an image processing apparatus that utilize scrolling text information and moving edge-pairs of an edge map to determine text regions in interpolated frame is introduced herein. Text blocks are detected according to the moving edges-pair of the edge map. Next, a first moving vector histogram and a second moving vector histogram are built according to the detected text blocks. An existence of scrolling text and motion vector of the scrolling text in the frames are determined according to the first and second moving vector histograms. A scrolling text region in at least one of the first frame and the second frame is determined in block line unit, and positions of each scrolling text pixels in an interpolated are determined according to the motion vector of the scrolling text and the scrolling text region in the at least one of the first frame and the second frame.
