Abstract
There is provided a moving robot including a light projector, an image sensor and a processing unit. The light projector projects a vertical light segment toward a moving direction. The image sensor captures, toward the moving direction, an image frame containing a light segment image associated with the vertical light segment. The processing unit calculates a step distance and a segment feature according to the image frame, outputs a flag signal according to the segment feature to indicate whether the calculated step distance is confident or not, and perform a pixel interpolation in calculating the step distance to improve the identification accuracy.
