Patent attributes
Disclosed are a navigation system and a navigation method, wherein the navigation method comprises the steps of sequentially providing image frames containing navigation information and generating electric signals corresponding to a position of an optical sensor, storing a first image frame into a reference frame memory as a reference frame, storing an input image frame subsequent to the first image frame into an input frame memory as a current input frame, setting a mask window having a predetermined size on the reference frame, obtaining correlation values over all the pixels on the current input frame by a full search comparison method, by moving the mask window on the current input frame pixel by pixel, calculating X-axis and Y-axis displacements of a pixel having the greatest correlation value of all the pixels, and updating the reference frame using the current input frame stored in the input frame memory.
