Abstract
Systems and methods directed toward acoustic analysis can include an acoustic sensor array comprising a plurality of acoustic sensor elements, an electromagnetic imaging tool, and a processor in communication with the acoustic sensor array and the electromagnetic imaging tool. The processor can be configured to analyze acoustic data to extract one or more acoustic parameters representative of acoustic signals at one or more locations in an acoustic scene and generate a display image that includes electromagnetic image data and acoustic image data. The display image can further include information indicative of the one or more acoustic parameters at one or more locations in the acoustic scene, such as including acoustic image data in the display image at locations in the scene at which the one or more acoustic parameters satisfies a predetermined condition.
