Adaptive thresholding and noise reduction for radar data

A method for gesture recognition, the method comprising:

• transmitting signals, via a transceiver;
• in response to a determination that a triggering event occurred, tracking movement of an object relative to an electronic device within a region of interest based on reflections of the signals received by the transceiver to identify range measurements and speed measurements associated with the object;
• identifying features from the reflected signals, based on at least one of the range measurements and the speed measurements;
• identifying a gesture based in part on the features from the reflected signals;
• and
• performing an action indicated by the gesture.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to:

• transmit signals, via a transceiver;
• in response to a determination that a triggering event occurred, track movement of an object relative to the electronic device within a region of interest based on reflections of the signals received by the transceiver to identify range measurements and speed measurements associated with the object;
• identify features from the reflected signals, based on at least one of the range measurements and the speed measurements;
• identify a gesture based in part on the features from the reflected signals;
• and
• perform an action indicated by the gesture.
