Airborne acoustic detection and localization of transients

摘要

Using acoustic sensors for detecting, localizing and classifying noise sources of any kind - and in particular related to potentially adverse activities - is an already well established technique applied in underwater activities. It now appears also as a significant multiplier for airborne automatic detection and localization of warning sounds such as: - blasts, gunshots or shouts in public buildings such as stadiums, big transportation infrastructures, great and crowded events, VIP protection, etc.
