Abstract

A method for improving linearity of touch system coordinates first reads two-dimensional raw data of a capacitive touch panel. Next, it reads a pixel and adjacent pixels of the pixel from the two-dimension raw data. Then, it determines whether the value of the pixel is great than a pre-determined threshold. If the value of the pixel is not greater than the pre-determined threshold, it then determines whether there is a value of the adjacent pixels is greater than the pre-determined threshold. If there is no value of the adjacent pixels greater than the pre-determined threshold, it sets the value of the pixel to a pre-determined value. Otherwise, it reserves the value of the pixel in order to increase the linearity of two-dimensional raw data so as to avoid the interference of noise to the two-dimensional raw data.
