Zusammenfassung:A method to operate a gesture recognition system for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The method includes: detection of a movement gesture by a detection unit; generation of a movement vector, which represents the moment gesture, by the detection unit; transmission of the movement vector to a processing unit; comparison of the movement vector with at least two limit curves, which define at least three separate regions in a section of the vector space; and determination of a direction of the movement gesture as horizontal if the movement vector lies in a first region, as vertical if the movement vector lies in a second region, and as not able to be classified if the movement vector lies in a third region. The limit curves are defined by functions which depend on spatial directions in a non-linear manner in order to increase recognition and classification reliability of the gesture recognition system.
