1. A method of movement detection performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
determining one or more grip points associated with the UE based at least in part on a grip type;
estimating an axis associated with an angular motion based at least in part on the grip type and the one or more grip points
determining, based at least in part on the axis, the angular motion using at least one gyroscope of the UE;
adjusting at least one measurement from at least one sensor that is associated with the UE and used to measure relative position, based at least in part on the angular motion, wherein the relative position is with respect to an external object to be classified as animate or inanimate; and
classifying the external object as animate or inanimate based at least in part on the at least one measurement after adjusting.
