Problems solved by technology

However, using more than two reference points will not only increase the complexity of the position calculation of the handheld pointing device, but also the image sensor on the handheld pointing device must have a viewing angle capable of sensing more than two reference point positions.
The use of accelerometers and gyroscopes will not only increase the production cost of the handheld pointing device, but also increase the energy consumption of the handheld pointing device

Abstract

The invention discloses a hand-held pointing device and a method for calibrating its inclination angle, and the method includes the following steps. Firstly, when the handheld pointing device points to a reference point, the image corresponding to the position of the reference point is captured, and a plurality of image frames are sequentially generated. Secondly, it is determined whether the reference point has moved substantially according to the plurality of image frames. Then, if it is judged that the reference point has not moved significantly, the acceleration unit of the handheld pointing device is used to sense multiple acceleration values ​​of the handheld pointing device in multiple axes, so as to calculate and update the handheld pointing device according to the multiple acceleration values. The first tilt angle currently used by the pointing device is the second tilt angle. Thus, the hand-held pointing device can efficiently and accurately calculate the position of the reference point according to its tilt angle by executing the tilt angle correction method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pointing device and its correction method, and in particular to a hand-held pointing device and its tilt angle correction method. Background technique [0002] The handheld pointing device can calculate the pointing point coordinates of the handheld pointing device by analyzing the position of the reference point in the sensed image area, and transmit the pointing point coordinates to the game console for related game operations. It is widely used in various interactive remote control games, such as light gun games, baseball games and tennis games. [0003] The distance between the image sensor on the existing hand-held pointing device and the display screen, as well as its rotation angle during image capture, will affect the calculation of the coordinates of the pointing point. Therefore, if the hand-held pointing device is not equipped with related equipment for detecting tilt angles, when the image sensor of the h...
