Abstract
In an embodiment, a method for analyzing signals from a pixelated capacitive sensor is disclosed. The method involves classifying capacitance signals from sensor cells of a pixelated capacitive sensor into at least one class based on capacitance values for sensor cells indicated by corresponding capacitance signals and assigning an attribute to sensor cells based on the classification of the corresponding capacitance signals.
