1. A method for recognizing an unknown gesture, comprising the steps of:
- directing an ultrasonic signal at an object making an unknown gestures;
acquiring a set of Doppler signals of the ultrasonic signal after reflection by the object;
extracting Doppler features from the reflected Doppler signal; and
classifying the Doppler features using a set of Doppler models storing the Doppler features and identities of known gestures to recognize and identify the unknown gesture, wherein there is one Doppler model for each known gesture.

Abstract
A method and system recognizes an unknown gesture by directing an ultrasonic signal at an object making an unknown gestures. A set of Doppler signals are acquired of the ultrasonic signal after reflection by the object. Doppler features are extracted from the reflected Doppler signal, and the Doppler features are classified using a set of Doppler models storing the Doppler features and identities of known gestures to recognize and identify the unknown gesture, wherein there is one Doppler model for each known gesture.
