An apparatus for controlling the position of a screen pointer for an electronic device having a display screen includes a light source for illuminating an imaging surface, thereby generating reflected images. The apparatus includes a motion transducer. A lens receives the reflected images and directs the reflected images onto the motion transducer. The motion transducer includes an electronic shutter for controlling the amount of time that light is collected for image frames. The motion transducer is configured to generate digital representations of the reflected images. The motion transducer is configured to generate movement data based on the digital representations of the reflected images. The movement data is indicative of relative motion between the imaging surface and the motion transducer. A controller coupled to the light source turns the light source on only during the time that light is being collected for an image frame.

A mouse for navigating upon grainy surfaces is equipped with at least two optical navigation circuits having different views of the work surface and whose axes may be non-parallel. For each navigation circuit an indication of navigation impairment owing to grain is detected. A suitable algorithm chooses from among the various navigation circuits which ones output to use. The multiple optical navigation circuits can each be separate self-contained mechanisms on separate dies or they can be separate sections of a single integrated circuit. The various metrics used within a navigation circuit for spatial filter selection can be further used by the navigation circuit selection algorithm. Each optical navigation circuit can have its own light source, or they can share a common one. They may also share any imaging optics, although each navigation sensor sees a different image. If the optical navigation sensors have non-parallel axes, their indications of incremental movement are converted to a common framework within the mouse as an adjunct to the navigation selection algorithm.

A spatial filter having coefficients selected and distributed within an array, so that when the array is divided non-diagonally into four equal quadrants, (1) the coefficients are of constant sign within each quadrant; (2) coefficients in diagonally opposed quadrants have like sign; and (3) coefficients in non-diagonally neighboring quadrants have unlike sign. In a preferred embodiment, coefficients cause the array to form a "saddle" shape when the coefficient values are representative of the local slope on a surface described by the array. This "saddle" shape enables improved filtration properties. The inventive spatial filter is further advantageously embodied in architecture comprising an array of individual calculation modules corresponding to the filter array. Rows of modules are coupled together in parallel. The input signal is fed to each row concurrently via FIFO buffers, enabling concurrent calculation operations.

The architecture of the inventive correlator is, in a preferred embodiment, an array of correlation cells each containing a delay pipe, a math unit and an accumulator. An array of these correlation cells are tiled together to allow simultaneous processing by all cells. The array is disposed so that each cell accumulates an output value in a result surface. There is no electrical limit to the number of correlation cells that may be tiled together. A preferred embodiment uses nine cells tiled together into a 3. times. 3 correlation result surface. Other embodiments have been tested in accordance with the present invention having twenty-five cells tiled together into a 5. times. 5 correlation result surface. A stream of compare pixel values is presented to the array wherein each compare pixel value is presented to each cell concurrently. A reference memory supplies the appropriate reference pixel values to the cells to enable all calculations for that compare pixel value to be done concurrently.

A quick release electric throttle assembly connected to a supplemental electric propulsion system, wherein the propulsion system may be moved from one vehicle to another, and the throttle must be correspondingly moved among the vehicles as well is disclosed. The quick release interface may incorporate a disengaging and disengageable electric connection to permit electrical wiring to be quickly plugged and unplugged from the hand actuated accessory. The throttle may be further be configured as a low profile throttle, such as having a flat surface with at least one button by which the throttle may be actuated. The throttle may be secured and released from the control surface of a vehicle by wrapping the laminar flexible sheet at a desired position and wrapping a Velcro like strap over one another about the manual control surface.

An electronic image stabilization system includes an image sensor including an array of photo sensors. Each of the photo sensors accumulates charge responsive to light incident upon the sensor. A motion sensor develops a movement signal responsive to movement of the image stabilization system. A control circuit is coupled to the image sensor and the motion sensor and shifts the charge accumulated in each photo sensor in the array to an adjacent photo sensor responsive to the movement signal.

A method and system of imaging an object. First, movement information of the object is determined by using a navigation sensor array and a navigation engine. Based on the movement information, an imaging sensor strobe signal is selectively asserted to control an imaging sensor array. In response to an asserted imaging sensor strobe signal, the imaging sensor array captures sub-images of the object. The imaging sensor array has a plurality of pixels for imaging a portion of the object at one time. The plurality of sub-images are captured successively by the imaging sensor array as the object moves with respect to the imaging sensor array. Then, a composite image of the object is generated based on the captured sub-images.
