Abstract: A motion detection method utilized for a motion sensor includes: capturing a monitoring image; entering a recording mode when one intensity change value between the monitoring image and a pre-stored background image is higher than a first threshold and a trigger signal is received from an auxiliary sensor; and entering the recording mode when the intensity change value is higher than a second threshold before the trigger signal is received; wherein the second threshold is higher than the first threshold.

Abstract: There is provided a global shutter sensor including a pixel array and a processor. The pixel array acquires first pixel data corresponding to a first exposure period and second pixel data corresponding to a second exposure period of different pixel regions using time division or spatial division, wherein the first exposure period is shorter than the second exposure period. The processor calculates a difference between (the second exposure period/the first exposure period)×the first pixel data and the second pixel data to obtain parasitic light sensitivity of the different pixel regions, and determines gains and/or exposure periods corresponding to the different pixel regions to compensate the parasitic light sensitivity.

Abstract: An optical sensor, for sensing a sensing frame corresponding to a flicker period of ambient light, comprising: a pixel array, configured to perform N times of exposure operations via at least one pixel of the pixel array in N exposure time intervals to generate N sub-frames, wherein a summation of the N exposure time intervals equals to a sensing interval and the sensing interval is less than or identical to a first flicker period. The optical sensor adds the N sub-frames to generate a summing sub-frame. The sensing frame comprises the summing sub-frame. The adding operation can also be performed to digital signals generated from the sub-frames. The influences caused by the fluctuation of ambient light can be neutralized, since the frame or portion of the frame is sensed at least twice at different phases of a single flicked period. By this way, the conventional flicker issue can be improved.
