Abstract: There is provided a barcode detection device including an image sensor and a processor. The image sensor captures an image frame of a color barcode. The processor sequentially processes every row of the image frame to find at least one color segment in each row of the image frame, categorizes color segments of a same color in one cluster according to a position relationship and a color similarity of the color segments in the image frame, and recognize a color of the pixels in one cluster according to color parameters of pixels in said one cluster.

Abstract: There is provided an imaging system including a camera and a control host. The camera identifies ambient light intensity and performs trigger event detection in a low power mode. When the camera detects a trigger event in the low power mode, the control host is woken up. The camera also determines an exposure mode according the ambient light intensity and informs the exposure mode to the control host such that an operating mode of the control host after being woken up matches the exposure mode of the camera.

Abstract: There is provided an image sensor for exposing a plurality of pixel rows within a frame period using a rolling shutter. The image sensor includes a processor for calculating bright-dark distribution patterns of image frames. The processor further adjusts the frame period to be substantially identical to a predetermined period by changing a total number of exposed line times within the frame period when a difference between the bright-dark distribution patterns of two image frames is larger than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: There is provided a pixel circuit including a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is used to output a first voltage associated with exposure intensity. The second circuit is used to output a second voltage associated with exposure time interval. The processor multiples the first voltage to a ratio between a reference voltage and the second voltage to obtain an actual light intensity, wherein the reference voltage is a voltage value outputted by the second circuit of a dummy pixel.

Abstract: A smart motion detection device with a determining method includes a memory, a processor, and a sensor array coupled to the memory and the processor. An image captured by the sensor array is processed by the processor. The sensor array is adapted to pre-store the image into the memory when the processor is operated in the sleep mode, and the pre-stored image is transmitted to the processor when the processor is operated in the wakeup mode. The sensor array includes a comparator adapted to generate an alarm signal for switching the processor from the sleep mode to the wakeup mode in accordance with a comparison result of the pre-stored image. The determining method includes the processor analyzing images captured by the sensor array when the sensor array is activated to capture the images, and the processor analyzing images pre-stored inside the memory when the sensor array is not activated.
