How does an optical mouse work?



 

 

*The optical mouse uses a tiny camera to take picture (1500-6000 pictures/second).

*Also uses a red LED that bounces light of that surface on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor.

*The CMOS sensor sends each image to a digital signal processor (DSP) for analysis. 

*The DSP detects the patterns in the images and see how those patterns have moved since the previous image, depending on change of pattern over all images sequence. 

*The DSP determines how far the mouse has moved and sends the moving coordinates to the computer.
