ULTRASOUND BASED AIR-WRITING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A method for motion tracking and text recognition, the method including a step of generating ultrasound waves with a transmitter; a step of receiving the ultrasound waves at a receiver, the receiver including sensors that record the ultrasound waves; a step of estimating with a processor, angle-of-arrival information for the ultrasound waves; a step of associating the angle-of-arrival information with a gesture; a step of extracting features from the gesture; and a step of classifying the gesture as a specific text character based on the extracted features by comparing the extracted features with known text characters stored in one or more templates.
