    Abstract: An optical navigation device control method comprising: (a) computing brightness contrast information of original images captured by an image sensor of an optical navigation device; (b) computing brightness variation levels of the original images; (c) improving image qualities of the original images based on the brightness contrast information and the brightness variation levels, to generate adjusted images; and (d) computing movements of the optical navigation device based on displacement between the adjusted images. The optical navigation device is located on a surface. The step (d) comprises: collecting reference images of different parts of the surface for a plurality of combinations of moving directions of the optical navigation device and placement directions of the surface; and determining a type of the surface via comparing images of a current surface with the reference images.
