摘要: An optical sensor for detecting motion or movement in an area of interest and a method operation is provided. The system includes CMOS having array pixels that captures images interest. monitors the average pixel value to define first state. If changes beyond defined threshold, defines second For each change state, signal generated. In one embodiment, used with meter dial indicator. generates time indicator passes through allow remote monitoring consumable commodity.
