Abstract
Embodiments for determine a perimeter of a physical space on an electronic device are disclosed. In an embodiment, a device has at least one radar sensor of an array of receivers arranged in a plane that sense depth via radar signal modulation and one or more processors that receive radar sensor data with the at least one radar sensor, perform a comparison between received energy level values for one or more points in a scene from the received radar sensor data, detect one or more reflector points based on the comparison and the one or more reflector points have energy level values that are higher than energy level values attributed to other points in the received radar sensor data, and determine an estimation for a perimeter of a physical space based on the one or more reflector points.
