Abstract
A method for the determination of a speed vector for a gesture recognition system in a motor vehicle is disclosed. The method includes detection of movement data by a detection unit, and transmission of the movement data to a processing unit in the form of vectors. A totalling of the vectors to form a total vector occurs using the processing unit, until either the total vector reaches a predetermined minimum length or a predetermined number of vectors is totalled. If the predetermined number of vectors is totalled and the predetermined minimum length of the total vector is not reached, a determination of the speed vector as a zero vector occurs. If the predetermined minimum length of the total vector is reached, a determination of the speed vector occurs by averaging the information contained in the total vector. An accurate and dynamic determination of the speed vector is thereby achieved.
