Abstract
A method for a touch sensing system includes generating, by a first pair of electrodes at a first location in a conductive material, an electric field in the conductive material; generating measurement data by measuring, by one or more second pairs of electrodes, the electric field in the conductive material at one or more second locations in the conductive material, with each of the one or more second locations differing from the first location; generating, based on the measurement data, an approximation of the electric field in the conductive material; and classifying, based on the approximation, one or more regions of the interface into a given state.
