Abstract

A multi-touch sensing method and apparatus are described. The multi-touch sensing method includes: storing, in a memory, coordinate values of a first dead zone and coordinate values of a second dead zone existing between first and second pair of image sensors, respectively; calculating coordinate values of touch points from images obtained by the first and second pairs of image sensors; comparing the coordinate values of the touch point and the coordinate values of the dead zones to identify the location of the dead zone to which the touch point belongs; selecting the coordinate values calculated in the third step if the coordinate values of the touch point belong to the first dead zone; and selecting the coordinate values calculated in the second step if the coordinate values of the touch point belong to the second dead zone.
