  2. Human echolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation

    Human echolocation is the ability of humans to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating sounds: for example, by tapping their canes, lightly stomping their foot, snapping their fingers, or making clicking noises with their mouths.

  3. Echolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolocation

    Animal echolocation, non-human animals emitting sound waves and listening to the echo in order to locate objects or navigate. Human echolocation , the use of sound by people to navigate. Sonar ( so und n avigation a nd r anging), the use of sound on water or underwater, to navigate or to locate other watercraft, usually by submarines.

  4. Acoustic location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_location

    Swedish soldiers operating an acoustic locator in 1940. Acoustic location is a method of determining the position of an object or sound source by using sound waves. Location can take place in gases (such as the atmosphere), liquids (such as water), and in solids (such as in the earth).

  5. Sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization

    Noteworthy is the emission of high-frequency echolocation calls by toothed whales and echolocating bats, showcasing diversity in shape, duration, and amplitude. However, it is their high-frequency hearing that becomes paramount, as it enables the reception and analysis of echoes bouncing off objects in their environment.

  6. Animal echolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_echolocation

    The term echolocation was coined by 1944 by the American zoologist Donald Griffin, who, with Robert Galambos, first demonstrated the phenomenon in bats. [1] [2] As Griffin described in his book, [3] the 18th century Italian scientist Lazzaro Spallanzani had, by means of a series of elaborate experiments, concluded that when bats fly at night, they rely on some sense besides vision, but he did ...

  8. 3D sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_sound_localization

    Sound localization technology is used in some audio and acoustics fields, such as hearing aids, surveillance [1] and navigation.Existing real-time passive sound localization systems are mainly based on the time-difference-of-arrival approach, limiting sound localization to two-dimensional space, and are not practical in noisy conditions.

  9. Bioacoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioacoustics

    For a long time humans have employed animal sounds to recognise and find them. Bioacoustics as a scientific discipline was established by the Slovene biologist Ivan Regen who began systematically to study insect sounds.
