Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for detecting acoustic and optical information as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can in particular be used to generate three-dimensional sound maps. The sound maps can be visualized and provided with information about acoustic sources, sound power and emitter characteristics.For this purpose, it is proposed to use for the detection of acoustic and optical information at least one microphone array and at least one device for detecting optical geometry data, wherein the at least one microphone array and the at least one device for detecting optical geometry data are arranged in a defined positional relationship. Acoustic information emitted from an object and the geometry of the object are detected by moving the at least one microphone array, the at least one device for detecting optical geometry data and the object relative to each other.
