IMAGE SENSING SYSTEM, AND AUTO CLEAN MACHINE

Abstract

An image sensing system, comprising: a distance determining device, configured to determine whether a distance between an object and an electronic device comprising the image sensing system is larger than a distance threshold or not; and an image sensor, comprising at least one image sensing unit, wherein the image sensor senses images with a first frame rate when the distance is smaller than the distance threshold and senses the images with a second frame rate when the distance is larger than the distance threshold, wherein the first frame rate is different from the second frame rate.
