Abstract: A method for detecting sub-pixel motion for an optical navigation device is disclosed. The method calculates the displacement of the sub-pixel motion according to brightness curve equations of captured images, which is represented by positional coordinates x and y. The detection method includes capturing a first image frame and a second image frame at different times, selecting plural pixels from the first image frame as calculation reference pixels, generating brightness curve equations of the reference pixels, calculating partial-derivatives of the reference pixel to generate a plurality of two-dimensional first-order equations, and calculating the sub-pixel motion according to the plurality of the two-dimensional first-order equations. The method can reduce the pixel noise by choosing reliable pixels as the reference pixels. The method also reduce the noise by classifying the reference pixels.

Abstract: A three-dimensional video composite signal demodulating method and system capable of inhibiting pseudo-color noises. The system has a two-dimensional luminance and chroma signal separator, a three-dimensional luminance and chroma signal separator, a luminance weighting device, a chroma weighting device and a band pass filter. The method applies the two-dimensional luminance and chroma signal separator to obtain a two-dimensional luminance and chroma signal of a pixel, next the three-dimensional luminance and chroma signal separator to determine the pixel still or not according to a two-dimensional luminance and chroma signal change between a current frame and its previous and following frames with respect to the pixel, and gives appropriate weights to luminance and chroma signals generated by the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional luminance and chroma signal separators respectively, thereby respectively adding and obtaining separated luminance and chroma signals of the pixel.
