    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a handheld pointer device and a tilt angle adjustment method thereof. The tilt angle adjustment method includes the following steps. Images corresponding to the position of a reference point are captured as the handheld pointer device pointing toward the reference point to generate a plurality of frames. Whether the reference point has substantially moved is subsequently determined based on the plurality of frames. When determines that the reference point has not substantially moved, causes an accelerometer unit of the handheld pointer device to detect the accelerations thereof over various axes so as to update a first tilt angle being used currently to a second tilt angle, accordingly. The handheld pointer device may thus accurately and efficiently calculate the relative position of the reference point with the appropriate tilt angle of the handheld pointer device used.

    Abstract: There is provided an optical pointing system including at least one reference beacon, an image sensor, a storage unit and a processing unit. The image sensor is configured to capture an image frame containing a beacon image associated with the at least one reference beacon. The storage unit is configured to save image data of at least one object image in the image frame. The processing unit is configured to sequentially process every pixel of the image frame for identifying the object image and real-timely remove or merge the image data, saved in the storage unit, associated with two object images within a pixel range of the image frame thereby reducing the used memory space.

    Abstract: An interactive system includes a display, a processor and a remote controller. The display includes at least one reference beacon for providing light with a predetermined feature. The remote controller includes an image sensor configured to capture an image containing the reference beacon and calculates an aiming coordinate according to an imaging position of the reference beacon in the captured image. The processor calculates a scale ratio of a pixel size of the display with respect to that of the image captured by the image sensor and moves a cursor position according to the scale ratio and the aiming coordinate.

    Abstract: An image determining method for scanning an image and determining specific image pixels of a specific image. The method comprises: determining at least one pixel in a first row having brightness value larger than a threshold value as the specific image pixel; defining a leftmost pixel and a rightmost pixel of the specific image pixel in the first row as a leftmost edge and a rightmost edge of a first specific image range; and defining a second specific image range in a second row of the image, which is next to the first row. Column positions of a leftmost edge and a rightmost edge of the second specific image range are respectively the same with column positions of the leftmost edge and the rightmost edge of the first specific image range. Via this method, the determining for the specific image pixels is more accurate.
