REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS HAVING SAME
First Claim
1. A remote sensing system, comprising:
- a first light source for emitting infrared light of a first central wavelength;
a second light source for emitting infrared light of a second central wavelength;
two image capturing devices for capturing images of the first and second light sources, the image capturing devices each comprising an infrared sensitive image sensor and an infrared pass filter having two passbands for respectively allowing the infrared light of the first and second central wavelengths to pass therethrough;
a processing unit for analyzing the images captured by the image capturing devices thereby determining positions of the light sources relative to the image capturing devices.

Abstract
A remote sensing system includes a first light source, a second light source, two image capturing devices and a processing unit. The first light source is configured for emitting infrared light of a first central wavelength. The second light source is configured for emitting infrared light of a second central wavelength. The two image capturing devices is configured for capturing images of the first and second light sources. The image capturing devices each includes an infrared sensitive image sensor and an infrared pass filter having two passbands for respectively allowing the infrared light of the first and second central wavelengths to pass therethrough. The processing unit is configured for analyzing the images captured by the image capturing devices thereby determining positions of the light sources relative to the image capturing devices.
