Optical mouse as an inexpensive kilopixel camera

Optical mouse is a device that many of us come into contact with daily. Users using it may never give it a thought on how the optical mouse works. It contains a sensor based on optical navigation technology to acquire microscopic images of the surface the mouse is placed on. Then it processed the im...
