Abstract
A sensing system includes a position sensor configured to generate sensor data indicating a position of an object on a surface, the object having a first component and a second component. The first component is moveable relative to the second component. An inclination angle calculation module is configured to receive the sensor data, calculate an impact of stationary gravitational acceleration on the object, and, using the calculated impact of stationary gravitational acceleration on the object, calculate at least one of a long-term inclination angle of the object, a short-term inclination of the object, and an inclination angle of the first component relative to the second component. The long-term inclination indicates a stationary position of the object for a predetermined threshold amount of time. The short-term inclination corresponds to a period shorter than the predetermined threshold amount of time.
