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.

Abstract: A smoke detection device includes a housing, a smoke collector, an optical detector and a cover plate. The housing has a piercing hole. The smoker collector has a smoke hole, and position of the smoke hole is close to position of the piercing hole. The optical detector is disposed inside the smoke collector and adapted to detect gaseous concentration inside the smoke collector. The cover plate is disposed between the housing and the smoke collector, and used to set a channel from the piercing hole to the smoke hole, so that gaseous matter flows from outside the smoke detection device into the smoke collector through the piercing hole and the smoke hole.

Abstract: A method for eliminating misjudgment of a reflective light is provided. A light source emits a transverse linear light toward a direction of a floor as detection light and the light sensor senses reflective light signals from an object that reflects the detection light. In the method, a frame image including the reflective light signals is captured by the light sensor, centers of gravity of the reflective light signals are analyzed, and the centers of gravity of the reflective light signals can be corrected based on a line of gravity or a center of gravity of previous reflective light signals stored in a memory of the autonomous robot in order to exclude a center of gravity generated by the reflective light signal from a wall. A distance of the object can be confirmed based on the corrected centers of gravity of reflective light signals.
