Abstract

See full text

An automatic magnification adjusting method is applied to an optical navigation device. The optical navigation device has an illumination channel, a reference channel and an imaging channel. The reference channel has a reference feature with a known parameter. The automatic magnification adjusting method includes driving the illumination channel and the reference channel to alternatively output a detecting image and a reference image, capturing a series of navigation images consisting of the detecting image and the reference image by the imaging channel, analyzing the reference image to recognize the reference feature, calculating a compensating factor according to a detected parameter of the reference feature, and adjusting magnification of the detecting image by the compensating factor to output corresponding coordinate displacement.
