Abstract
An acoustic analysis system includes an acoustic sensor array that receives acoustic signals from a target scene and outputs acoustic data based on the received acoustic signals. A processor receives a plurality of acoustic data sets from the acoustic sensor array, representative of the target scene at different points in time. The processor determines one or more locations within the target scene represented by the plurality of acoustic data sets, each being a location of an acoustic signal emitted from the target scene. For each acoustic signal, the processor classifies the acoustic signal as an intermittent acoustic signal or a continuous acoustic signal, generates accumulated-time acoustic image data based on the plurality of acoustic data sets, and generates an accumulated-time display image for presentation on a display. Within the accumulated-time display image, acoustic signals classified as intermittent acoustic signals are distinguished from acoustic signals classified as continuous acoustic signals.
