Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to sensing apparatuses and methods. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, analog signals are obtained from a plurality of sensors and used to provide an output for particular ones of the sensors as follows. Analog signals are obtained from a particular sensor and one or more adjacent sensors. Different weighting factors are applied to the analog signals, based on the position of the sensor or sensors. The signals with the weighting factors applied thereto are combined to provide an output signal.
