First Claim
1. A processing system for an input device, the processing system comprising:
- a sensor module comprising sensor circuitry, the sensor module configured to drive a plurality of transmitter electrodes with transmitter signals;
receive, with a plurality of receiver electrodes, resulting signals comprising effects corresponding to the transmitter signals; and
produce a first sensor image based on the resulting signals; and
a filter module, wherein the filter module is configured to produce a transformed sensor image by applying a spatial filter to the first sensor image;
a determination module configured to determine at least one of positional information and a validity of a baseline for the input device based on the transformed sensor image.

Abstract
A processing system for an input device includes a sensor module, a filter module, and a determination module. The sensor module is configured to drive a plurality of transmitter electrodes with transmitter signals; receive, with a plurality of receiver electrodes, resulting signals comprising effects corresponding to the transmitter signals; and produce a first sensor image based on the resulting signals. The filter module is configured to produce a transformed sensor image by applying a spatial filter to the first sensor image. The determination module is configured to positional information and/or the validity of a baseline for the input device based on the transformed sensor image.
