Abstract
Acoustic imaging systems can include an acoustic sensing array, an electromagnetic imaging tool, a display, and an audio device. A processor can receive data from the acoustic sensor array and the electromagnetic imaging tool to generate a display image combining acoustic image data and electromagnetic image data. Systems can include an audio device that receives an audio output from the processor and outputs audio feedback signals to a user. The audio feedback signals can represent acoustic signals from an acoustic scene. Systems can provide a display image to a user including acoustic image data, and a user can select an acoustic signal for which to provide a corresponding audio output to an audio device. Audio outputs and display images can change dynamically in response to a change in pointing of the acoustic sensing array, such as by changing a stereo audio output.
