Next, by the multi-point touch mode of explanation optical touch control system of the present invention.With the example that is operating as between treatment circuit 110 and Image sensor apparatus 106, before also without any the contiguous touch-control surface 118 of indicant 102, treatment circuit 110 can be first by Image sensor apparatus 106 sensing touch-control surface 118, to obtain the image that does not contain the object image of indicant 102, and using this image as a background video.Then, treatment circuit 110 can reach to obtain the brightness value of N bright pixel in every row pixel of background video, and calculates average brightness or the brightness total value of N selected in every row pixel bright pixel, and then forms an intensity map, and wherein N is natural number.
Then, when there being the contiguous touch-control surface 118 of two indicants 102, and these two indicants 102 are again quite near each other time, and treatment circuit 110 just can be obtained by Image sensor apparatus 106 image of the object image that contains these two indicants 102.Obtaining after the image of the object image that contains these two indicants 102, treatment circuit 110 will be used as this image one sensing image.Certainly, this sensing image is the sensing image that comprises infrared ray monochrome information.Then, treatment circuit 110 can compare all or part of information in this sensing image and the first threshold value, to find out the summary areas imaging in the image sensing window of Image sensor apparatus 106 of these two indicants 102, and this summary areas imaging is the comparison scope (aftermentioned in detail) that need to further compare.In this example, described all or part of information is the brightness value that treatment circuit 110 is obtained in every row pixel of above-mentioned sensing image N bright pixel, and adopts method obtained another intensity map identical with obtaining aforementioned intensity map.And described threshold value is obtained according to a default number percent from the obtained intensity map of above-mentioned background image by treatment circuit 110.Fig. 7 is painted with another described intensity map.
In Fig. 7, the curve that indicates 602 indications is the intensity map of obtaining from described sensing image, and any point in this curve is all expressed as the brightness value of the row pixel of sensing image.And sign W 2the scope of indication is these two low intensity range that indicant 102 shield lights cause.The curve that indicates 504 indications is the first threshold value.After being specified in as for the effect that indicates 702 indication dotted lines.As shown in Figure 7, W 2the low intensity range of indication is exactly the summary areas imagings of these two indicants 102 in the image sensing window of Image sensor apparatus 106, namely needs the comparison scope of further comparing.And the scope that in the intensity map that this comparison scope is exactly sensing image, brightness value is contained lower than all row information of the first threshold value.In other words, treatment circuit 110 compares intensity map 602 and the first threshold value 504 exactly, and brightness value in intensity map 602 (is being indicated to W lower than the part of the first threshold value 504 2in the scope of indication) distribution range of corresponding row pixel, be considered as first areas imaging of these two indicants 102 in the image sensing window 400 of Image sensor apparatus 106.And the summary areas imaging that this first areas imaging is exactly these two indicants 102.
