  • Vector Sensor-Based Acoustic Monitoring System
    Publication number: 20210333423
    Abstract: An acoustic monitoring system characterizes, classifies, and geo-locates anthropogenic and natural sounds in near real time. The system includes a compact array of three acoustic vector sensors, which measures acoustic pressure and the three-dimensional particle velocity vector associated with the propagation of an acoustic wave, thereby inherently providing bearing information to an underwater source of sound. Beamforming techniques provide sound source localization, allowing for characterization of the acoustic signature of specific underwater acoustic sources.
