Abstract

Provided is a method of adjusting a frame rate of a photoelectric navigation device and a photoelectric navigation device. The method includes: acquiring a first image frame and a second image frame by the photoelectric navigation device at a first frame rate; determining a current moving displacement of the photoelectric navigation device; determining a matching result of the first image frame and the second image frame when the moving displacement is within a set range between a high displacement threshold and a low displacement threshold; and adjusting the first frame rate of the photoelectric navigation device to a second frame rate when the matching result does not meet a set matching condition. The second frame rate is greater than the first frame rate. The frame rate of the photoelectric navigation device can be adjusted accurately using the method.
