Abstract
In a method of input object sensing, a plurality of transmitter electrodes are driven in a first way to acquire a first sub-frame image with the plurality of transmitter electrodes and a plurality of receiver electrodes of a sensor electrode pattern during a first sub-frame of a transcapacitive sensing frame. The plurality of transmitter electrodes is also driven in a second way to acquire a second sub-frame image with the plurality of transmitter electrodes and the plurality of receiver electrodes during a second sub-frame of the transcapacitive sensing frame, wherein the first way and the second way differ. A capacitive image is determined by combining the first sub-frame image with the second sub-frame image such that a motion artifact associated with an input object and present in at least one of the sub-frame images is suppressed by the combining.
