Described mnemon 104 couples described processing unit 105, for storing displacement (speed) threshold value, quality threshold value and other systematic parameter.
Described processing unit 105 such as can come displacement calculating amount or translational speed according to the correlativity (correlation) between two images, and the current displacement of comparison and described displacement threshold value (or at present translational speed and described threshold speed), and described light source 101 is controlled by described light source control unit 102 according to comparative result, to carry out the switching of friction speed pattern; Wherein, as long as described processing unit 105 can process the processor of image document, such as digital signal processor (DSP), there is no specific restriction.In embodiment of the present invention, the picture frame displacement calculating amount obtained when described processing unit 105 is lighted according to described light source 101, be used as described light source 101 extinguish during estimate displacement.Such as, in a kind of embodiment, described processing unit 105 can open picture frame displacement calculating amount or average displacement amount according to described N, to estimate displacement during opening picture frame as described M, does not so just need displacement calculating amount during M opens picture frame; That is the picture frame that described light source 101 obtains during extinguishing can be given up.Described processing unit 105 can also carry out the switching of described velocity mode according to described displacement.In addition, described processing unit 105 can also determine the numerical value of N, such as, calculate the image quality that described N opens picture frame, when described image quality is lower than the numerical value increasing N during quality threshold value; That is, preferably obtain more effective image frame continuously when image quality is not good with what avoid obtaining mistake and estimate threshold value; Wherein, the definition of described image quality has been known, therefore repeats no more in this.In addition, described processing unit 105 can also control described light source 101 by described light source control unit 102 and has larger N value at low-speed mode than fast mode.

First, illustrate in displacement detector 10 of the present invention, the friction speed pattern of described light source 101.Such as with reference to shown in Fig. 3 A, it illustrates in embodiment of the present invention, the schematic diagram of the Image Acquisition of described imageing sensor 103 and three kinds of velocity modes of described light source 101, and wherein often kind of velocity mode is all to having glow frequency.Such as, in present embodiment, suppose image sampling cycle=1/3000 second, light period=1/3000 of fast mode second, middle fast mode light period=1/1500 second, light period=1/1000 second of low-speed mode; Wherein said light period is the integral multiple in described image sampling cycle and is formed synchronous, that is during the Image Acquisition of described imageing sensor 103, described light source 101 provides light required when obtaining picture frame.By this, although described imageing sensor 103 obtains image with the fixing image sampling cycle, but all light when because described light source 101 is subject to the control of described light source control unit 102, not picture frame obtains, the light period that the effective image that therefore described imageing sensor 13 obtains is subject to described light source 101 controlled relatively at every turn; Wherein, described effective image is such as represented by solid arrow in figure (expression light source luminescent), and dotted arrow represents that light source is luminous and make imageing sensor 103 cannot get effective image (i.e. invalid image).Described processing unit 105 carries out the calculating of displacement and translational speed based on the effective image that described imageing sensor 103 obtains.Scrutable, image sampling cycle (sampling frequency) disclosed in Fig. 3 A, the numerical value of light period (glow frequency) are only exemplary, are not intended to limit the present invention.
With reference to shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B, then illustrate the maximum displacement that described processing unit 105 can detect between two effective images and maximum can detection speed.In a kind of embodiment, the relatively described light source 101 of described imageing sensor 103 light acquisition two effective images, such as the first image 20 and the second image 30.Described processing unit 105 is selected with reference to search box 21 at described first image 20, and selectes search box 31 in described second image 30.Described processing unit 105 then calculate described with reference to the distance between search box 21 and described search box 31 using the current displacement detected as institute's displacement sensing device 10.For the purpose of simplifying the description, only consider X-direction displacement (i.e. horizontal direction in figure) in Fig. 3 B, during practical operation, described displacement can comprise X-direction component and Y direction component.The maximum displacement that detects is positioned at reference to search box 21 situation that the leftmost side of described first image 20 and described search box 31 be positioned at described second image 30 rightmost side and calculates according to described and obtain.In this embodiment, suppose that often opening picture frame (i.e. the sensor array size of imageing sensor) has 16 × 16 pixels, described search box 31 and be describedly assumed to be 8 × 8 pixels with reference to search box 21, then maximum between continuous two effective images of described processing unit 105 detects displacement is 8 pixel distances (namely maximum detect number of pixels).Because the described maximum displacement that detects is determined by the size of often opening frame, thus do not affect by the glow frequency of described light source 101, that is described maximum to detect displacement all identical under the various velocity modes of described light source 101.
