Abstract: A motion detection system for detecting the presence of a moving object within a detection zone. A first sensor responsive to light in a first range of wavelengths in the detection zone is provided to generate a first output signal indicative of a first detected parameter of the light in the first range. A second sensor responsive to light in a second range of wavelengths in the detection zone is provided to generate a second output signal indicative of a second detected parameter of the light in the second range. The second range of wavelengths is different from the first range of wavelengths and the second sensor is disposed approximately to the first sensor. A processing component is provided to generate a variable threshold value for the first sensor based upon the second output signal indicative of a second detected parameter of the light in the second range and compare the first output signal with the variable threshold value. The processing component further generates an activating signal if the first output signal exceeds the threshold value.

Abstract: An infrared image sensing device is provided having a pixel structure in which an output level as a reference voltage of a reference-pixel element is close to that of a pixel element. A thermal-type infrared image sensing device including pixel elements, being two-dimensionally arranged on a semiconductor substrate, each having a detector for detecting temperature, an infrared-light absorber, supported above the detector apart therefrom through a connector thereon, for absorbing incident infrared light and converting the light into heat, and a support for supporting the detector apart from the semiconductor substrate, includes reference-pixel elements, arranged adjacent to and along a row of the pixel elements, each for generating a reference signal to be a reference for a signal generated by each of the pixel elements, each having a structure for shielding a detector from incident infrared light, in which the detectors of the pixel elements and the reference-pixel elements each are connected to the semiconductor substrate through the respective supports. According to such a configuration, the difference between output levels from the reference-pixel element and the pixel element due to self-heat generation accompanying an operation of reading pixel signals is not significantly generated, and therefore the output level from the reference-pixel element is to be an ideal reference voltage.
