1. A method of classifying pressure inputs in a sensing array, said sensing array comprising a plurality of sensing elements responsive to pressure inputs, said method comprising the steps of:
identifying a plurality of pressure inputs in said sensing array;
converting said plurality of pressure inputs into an output image;
comparing said output image with a data set comprising a plurality of images comprising undesirable pressure inputs by means of an artificial neural network, each said image including an associated mask; and
applying one said associated mask consistent with said output image in response to said comparing step to remove undesirable pressure inputs; wherein
said step of converting said plurality of pressure inputs into an output image comprises mapping each said pressure input to a pixel of a pixel array, said pixel array corresponding to said sensing array.
