Abstract: An optical mouse has an image sensor (12) providing image data via an ADC (14) to a correlation circuit (16) and a motion estimation circuit (18) to provide output signals representative of mouse motion. The output signals are disabled when the mouse is lifted away from the working surface. This is achieved by summing each frame, after filtering in a high-pass filter (22), in a summer (26) to provide a single value, and comparing this with a threshold. If the filtered and summed value exceeds the threshold, this indicates that the image contains in-focus objects, and thus that the mouse is on the working surface.

Abstract: The noise occurring when applying dithering on a discrete transfer function shall be reduced. Therefore, a first function value and a second function value are assigned (S1) to a discrete function value of the discrete transfer function. On the basis of a given number of dithering bits dithering values being equal to and/or lying between the first function value and the second function value are calculated (S2). From these dithering values a third function value using the least number of dithering bits is chosen (S3). Finally this third function value is taken as transfer function value instead of the original discrete function value. Thus, the dithering noise can be reduced tremendously.

Abstract: Systems and related methods have been achieved to convert in an analog
domain the output of color image sensors into another color space. A chosen
implementation converts the output of red, green, blue and white image sensors
to the YcrCb color space, wherein the white image sensors are either extended
dynamic range (XDR) image sensors or are of the same type as the other image
sensors but have a larger size. The output of the white pixels can be used without
conversion directly for the luminance Y value, thus achieving a very simple
method for a conversion to YCbCr color space. Analog amplifiers, assigned to
each of the red, green, and blue image sensors, have a gain according to the
matrix describing the conversion from RGB to CbCr. Analog adders, assigned to
Cb and Cr are adding the coefficients required for the computation of Cb and Cr.
Finally the values of Y, Cb and Cr are converted to digital values. White pixels are
advantageous but not required using the present invention. The present invention
is also applicable for conversion to other color spaces as e.g. YIQ, YUV, CMYK,
HIS, HSV, etc.
