Abstract:
A device for determining a gesture includes a light emitting unit, an image sensing device and a processing circuit. The light emitting unit emits a light beam. The image sensing device captures an image of a hand reflecting the light beam. The processing circuit obtains the image and determine a gesture of the hand by performing an operation on the image; wherein the operation includes: selecting pixels in the image having a brightness greater than or equal to a brightness threshold; sorting the selected pixels; selecting a first predetermined percentage of pixels from the sorted pixels; dividing the adjacent pixels in the first predetermined percentage of pixels into a same group; and determining the gesture of the hand according to the number of groups of pixels. A method for determining a gesture and an operation method of the aforementioned device are also provided.
Abstract:
A biofeedback control system and method includes monitoring a physiological condition of a user to generate a sensing signal including a physiological information of the user, extracting a physiological variation information from the physiological information to generate a biofeedback signal, and generating a control signal based on the physiological variation information for controlling scenes, scenarios, background music or audio-visual effects of a program or a game. By this way, the biofeedback control system and method can trace a user's mood to automatically adjust a video output or an audio output of an electronic system where a program is playing or a game is running to enhance amusement.
Abstract:
There is provided a treadmill capable of performing the fall detection. The treadmill includes a light sensor and a processor. The light sensor acquires an image frame toward an operation space. The processor performs the occupancy detection on the image frame using face detection and human detection. Upon not detecting the operation space being occupied by any user during a running state of the treadmill, the processor deactivates the treadmill and raises a fall alarm.
Abstract:
There is provided a remote control system including a controlled device and a remote device. The controlled device has a light source and moves according to a control signal from the remote device. The remote device is adapted to be operated by a user and includes an image sensor. The remote device determines a moving direction of the controlled device according to an imaging position of the light source in the image captured by the image sensor and a pointing position of the user, and outputs the control signal.
Abstract:
There is provided an optical navigation device including an image sensor, a processing unit, a storage unit and an output unit. The image sensor is configured to successively capture images. The processing unit is configured to calculate a current displacement according to the images and to compare the current displacement or an accumulated displacement with a threshold so as to determine an outputted displacement. The storage unit is configured to save the accumulated displacement. The output unit is configured to output the outputted displacement with a report rate.
Abstract:
There is provided a displacement detection device including an image sensor, a light source, a light control unit and a processing unit. The image sensor captures image frames at a sampling frequency. The light source provides, in a speed mode, light for the image sensor in capturing the image frames. The light control unit controls the light source with the speed mode to turn on at a lighting frequency or to turn off serially. The processing unit calculates a displacement according to the image frames captured when the light source turns on to be served as an estimated displacement for an interval during which the light source turns off. There is further provided an operating method of a displacement detection device.
Abstract:
An optical input device integrates functions of fingerprint recognition, movement detection, and physiological analysis, and has a touch surface for receiving touch input of a finger. When a finger contacts the touch surface, the optical input device captures images from the touch surface, detects movement of the finger to generate a movement signal, extracts a fingerprint feature and a vessel blood changing feature from the images, analyzes and compares the fingerprint feature for identity recognition, and performs calculation according to the vessel blood changing feature to generate a physiological signal.
