Abstract:
A method for determining non-contact gesture is applied to a device for the same. The device has an image sensor to detect an image sensing data, an inertial measurement sensor to detect an inertial sensing data, and a processor to determine if an object data is detected and to determine if an inertial event is occurred. The image sensing data in the same and/or adjacent image frame with the inertial events are excluded so that the image sensing data used to determine the gesture are those not influenced by the inertial events. Therefore, the accuracy of determining the gesture is enhanced.
Abstract:
A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor depth sensor element comprises a photogate formed in a photosensitive area on a substrate. A first transfer gate and a second transfer gate are formed respectively on two sides of the photogate in intervals. A first floating doped area and a second floating doped area are formed respectively on the outer sides of the first transfer gate and the second transfer gate. The first and second floating doped regions have dopants of a first polarity and the semiconductor area has dopants of a second polarity opposite to the first polarity. Since the photogate and at least parts of the first and second transfer gates connect to the same semiconductor area and no other dopants of polarity opposite to the second polarity. Therefore, the majority carriers from the photogate excited by lights drift, but not diffuse, to transfer to the first and second transfer gates.
