An optical sensor device for object detection includes a light-emitting element configured to emit light to the object, a light-receiving element configured to sense reflected light from the object, a temperature sensor configured to provide a temperature signal in response to an ambient temperature, a temperature compensation unit coupled to the temperature sensor to read the temperature signal and perform a temperature compensation process to generate a compensated signal strength, and an analyzer coupled to the temperature compensation unit and configured to receive the compensated signal strength and generate a detection result. The temperature compensation process includes receiving a first signal strength when the light-emitting element is turned off, receiving a second signal strength when the light-emitting element is activated, obtaining a compensation factor according to the temperature signal, and generating the compensated signal strength based on the first signal strength, the second signal strength, and the compensation factor.
An optical sensor device configured to perform detection of an object, comprising:
A method of temperature compensation of an optical sensor device that comprises a light-emitting element, a light-receiving element, a temperature sensor, and a temperature compensation unit, comprising:
