Abstract
Systems and methods directed toward acoustic analysis can include a plurality of acoustic sensor arrays, each including a plurality of acoustic sensor elements, and a processor in communication with the plurality of acoustic sensor arrays. The processor can be configured to select one or more of the plurality of acoustic sensor arrays based on one or more input parameters, and generate acoustic image data representative of an acoustic scene based on received acoustic data from the selected one or more acoustic sensor arrays. Such input parameters can include distance information and/or frequency information. Different acoustic sensor arrays can share acoustic sensor elements in common or can be entirely separate from one another. Acoustic image data can be combined with electromagnetic image data from an electromagnetic imaging tool to generate a display image.
