Abstract:
A pointer positioning device for positioning an aiming point on a display screen of an image display comprises at least one auxiliary point, an image sensor and an optical filter. The auxiliary point is disposed at the peripheral of the display screen for generating a predetermined spectrum. The image sensor receives signals of the predetermined spectrum generated by the auxiliary point. The optical filter is disposed in front of the image sensor for filtering out spectrum outside the predetermined spectrum such that the image sensor can merely sense the signals of the predetermined spectrum, wherein the auxiliary point is utilized as a reference point for correcting an initial setup and positioning the aiming point so as to position the aiming point inside a predetermined range on the display screen. The present invention also provides a pointer positioning method adapted to the pointer positioning device.

Abstract:
An optical touch system, an apparatus and a method for calculating the position of an object are provided. The apparatus includes an image sensor and a processing circuit. The processing circuit selects at least one dot from a curve segment of a brightness distribution profile obtained from a background image, wherein the curve segment corresponds to an imaging range of an object. And the processing circuit regards the column pixel brightness value corresponding to the dot as a brightness reference value. Afterwards, the processing circuit calculates brightness difference between the brightness reference value and the column pixel brightness values corresponding to the dots of a curve segment of a brightness distribution profile obtained from a sensed image, so as to further calculate a gravity of the imaging range. After that, the processing circuit regards the gravity as a representative position of the object in the sensed image.

Abstract:
A motion estimation method for a succession of frames in a digital coding system includes: with reference to a first block in a first frame, searching a second frame for a second block that corresponds to the first block; and estimating a motion vector of the first block with respect to the second block in the second frame. Blocks in the second frame are searched according to a distance-weighted search sequence starting from a candidate origin block. In view of the radiating characteristics of motion vectors, the distance-weighted search sequence can save unnecessary search time.
Abstract:
At a first time, a first image sensor and a second image sensor capture a first image and a second image including images of an object respectively. At a second time, the first image sensor and the second image sensor capture a third image and a fourth image including images of the object respectively. A coordinate calculation device calculates a first coordinate of the object at the first time according to the first image and the second image, and a second coordinate of the object at the second time according to the third image and the fourth image. A coordinate correction device calculates a displacement between the first time and the second time according to the first coordinate and the second coordinate, and corrects an output coordinate of the object at the second time according to the displacement.
