An Acoustic Camera for Use on UAVs.

ABSTRACT: Airborne acoustic surveillance would enable and ease several applications, including security surveillance, urban and industrial noise monitoring, rescue missions, and wildlife monitoring. Airborne surveillance with an acoustic camera mounted on an airship would provide the deployment flexibility and utility required by these applications. Nevertheless, and problematically for these applications, there is not a single acoustic camera mounted on an airship yet. We make significant advances towards solving this problem by designing and constructing an acoustic camera for direct mounting on the hull of a UAV airship. The camera consists of 64 microphones, a central processing unit, and software for data acquisition and processing dedicatedly developed for far-field low-level acoustic signal d
