When described the first imageing sensor 131 obtains the first picture frame IF 1during this time, in order to compensate the corner 113 of described touch surface 11 and the brightness of described the 3rd imageing sensor 151 positions is discontinuous, except at least part of described light-emitting section is (for example, herein for being positioned at the field range θ of described the first imageing sensor 131 1light-emitting section 122,123) luminous, described second point light source 142 and described thirdly light source 152 are also luminous so that described the first picture frame IF 1there is uniform luminance; Wherein, described second point light source 142 and thirdly light source 152 is can identical or different brightness luminous.
When described the 3rd imageing sensor 151 obtains the 3rd picture frame IF 3during this time, discontinuous in order to compensate the brightness of described the first imageing sensor 131 positions, except at least part of described light-emitting section is (for example, herein for being positioned at the field range θ of described the 3rd imageing sensor 151 3light-emitting section 121,122,124) luminous, described the first pointolite 132 is also luminous so that described the 3rd picture frame IF 3there is uniform luminance.
Scrutable, the strip-shaped light source that the field range of each imageing sensor comprises is not defined as shown in Fig. 2 A-2D.
Please refer to shown in Fig. 5 A, in known technology, the corner 113 of described touch surface 11 and described the 3rd imageing sensor 151 places do not have supplementary lighting sources, for example, when the first imageing sensor 131 described in Fig. 2 A-2D obtains described the first picture frame IF 1time, can form the discontinuous situation of brightness in the corner of described the 3rd imageing sensor 151 and described touch surface 11 113 positions.Therefore, the present invention carries out light filling by the corner 113 in described touch surface 11 and described the 3rd imageing sensor 151 set-point, position light sources, to compensate described the first picture frame IF 1luminance Distribution, as shown in Figure 5 B.Carrying out the pointolite brightness of light filling can set in advance.
Therefore, the luminance compensation method of the optical touch control system of the embodiment of the present invention has multiple mode of operations, and under each mode of operation, at least one imageing sensor obtains picture frame and is arranged in the corner within the vision of the imageing sensor that picture frame obtains or other position of image sensors are provided with pointolite that light filling uses to carry out luminance compensation; Wherein, the number of described mode of operation and imageing sensor obtain the order of picture frame and locate according to object and follow the trail of the algorithm using and determine, and there is no specific limited.Described mode of operation is performed successively.
