Detecting and inferring the trajectory of a moving magnet from magnetic field measurements is a challenge due to a wide range of time scales and amplitudes of the recorded signals and limited computational power of devices embedding a magnetometer. In this paper, we model the magnetic field measurements using a bank of autonomous linear state space models and provide an efficient algorithm based on local likelihood filtering for reliably detecting and inferring the gesture causing the magnetic field variations.
