Abstract
A processing system for multiple input object force estimation includes sensor circuitry and processing circuitry. The sensor circuitry is configured to acquire measurements of a sensing region using sensor electrodes. The processing circuitry is connected to the sensor circuitry. The processing system is configured to obtain a delta image of the sensing region using the measurements, identify locations of the input objects in the sensing region using the delta image, and determine a force estimate for each input object using the delta image, a bending response model, and the plurality of locations. The processing system is further configured to perform an action based on the force estimate of each input object of the plurality of input objects.
