1. A gesture detection apparatus configured to control operation of a device, the gesture detection apparatus comprising:
one or more sensors configured to receive reflected ones of emitted signals produced by the gesture detection apparatus,
one or more processors configured with a motion channel to process the received reflected ones of the emitted signals and produce motion output signals,
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
(a) evaluate the produced motion output signals, and identify, by classification, a motion of a human based on each of an amplitude, phase and frequency of the motion output signals, wherein the processor is configured to classify the motion of the human based on generated audio frequencies; and
(b) issue one or more control signals to control the device in response to the identified motion.
