Description

Object detecting system and method
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of object detecting system and method, especially, the invention relates to light territory (non-coincident fields of light) that a kind of utilization do not form simultaneously and object detecting system and the method for single orthoscopic image sensor (line image sensor).
Background technology
Because touch control screen (touch screen) can allow the operator intuitively see through the advantage that the coordinate input of relative display is carried out in the way of contact, touch control screen has become the input media of the now common configuration of display.Touch control screen to be to be widely used in all kinds of electronic products with display, for example, and monitor, mobile computer, flat computer, ATM (Automatic Teller Machine), point-of-sale terminals, visitor's guide system, industrial control system, etc.
Except the Touch Screen that the operators such as traditional resistor formula, condenser type must contact, the coordinate input mode of utilizing camera assembly (image-capturing device) to allow the operator need not really to touch display also is used.Utilize the related prior art of the non-contact type touch control screen (or being called the optical touch control screen) of camera assembly to ask for an interview the 4th, 507, No. 557 patents of United States Patent (USP) notification number, seldom do at this and give unnecessary details.Above-mentioned in the optical image mode, reach the object detecting system of object space judgement except can be applicable to Touch Screen, also can be applied to touch-control plotting sheet, touch control controller etc.
For the position of more accurate parsing input point even can support the multiple spot input, prior art about the optical touch control screen, the design proposal of existing multiple different light sources kenel, light reflection subassembly and leaded light component is suggested, so that more angle functions about the input point position to be provided, in order to the position of resolving exactly input point.For example, United States Patent (USP) notification number the 7th, 460, No. 110 patents, it discloses and utilizes the object that possesses the radioluminescence source to drop in the indicating area, and cooperate the catoptron of a slice waveguide assemblies (waveguide) and installing waveguide assemblies two edges, and then cause upper and lower light territory (coincident fields of light) two-layer and that form simultaneously, image unit can capture upper and lower two-layer different image simultaneously by this.
Yet, if will capture simultaneously, two-layer different image, image unit must adopt the higher matrix type image sensor of cost (area image sensor), multiple orthoscopic image sensor (multiple-lineimage sensor) or two orthoscopic image sensors.In addition, adopt matrix type image sensor, multiple orthoscopic image sensor or two orthoscopic image sensors, the optical touch control screen need to expend more calculation resources could resolve the image that these image sensors capture, and especially adopts the matrix type image sensor.In addition, adopt matrix type image sensor, multiple orthoscopic image sensor or two orthoscopic image sensors, the error that its system assembles of optical touch control screen causes can cause these image sensors to sense wrong light territory or sensing less than the situation in light territory, especially adopts two orthoscopic image sensors.
In addition, need possess object, waveguide assemblies and the catoptron in radioluminescence source according to the optical touch control screen of the 7th, 460, No. 110 patents of United States Patent (USP) notification number, the three arranges in pairs or groups simultaneously just can reach upper and lower light territory two-layer and that form simultaneously.Significantly, the framework of the 7th, 460, No. 110 patents of United States Patent (USP) notification number is comparatively complicated.And, showing the prior art of Touch Screen about optics, its image unit still has to be hoisted to the identification scope of indicating area and the resolution that drops on the object in the indicating area.
