Claim One:
1. A method of enabling touch determination based on an output signal from a touch-sensitive apparatus, the touch-sensitive apparatus comprising a panel configured to conduct signals from a plurality of incoupling points to a plurality of outcoupling points, thereby defining detection lines that extend across a surface portion of the panel between pairs of incoupling and outcoupling points, at least one signal generator coupled to the incoupling points to generate the signals, and at least one signal detector coupled to the outcoupling points to generate the output signal which is indicative of interaction between one or more touching objects and one or more of the detection lines, wherein the method comprises the steps of: receiving the output signal; processing the output signal to obtain observed values for the detection lines; and identifying an interaction pattern for the surface portion as a solution to an optimization function that comprises an aggregation of differences between the observed value and a projected value for each of the detection lines, the projected value being given by a projection function that defines a functional relation between the interaction pattern and the projected value for the respective detection line; said method further comprising the steps of: computing a respective normalization value for each of the differences as a function of the observed value for the respective detection line; and applying the respective normalization value so as to normalize the respective difference in the optimization function.
