Description

Sorama's digital sound camera, the Sorama Cam, gives clear insight into the location and behaviour of a sound or vibration source. A thermal camera, but for sound. The sound camera puts the next-generation sound meter in the engineer's hand. For example, an annoying, low-frequency tone in a home or cross-talk in navigation equipment can be easily located, analysed and understood so that noise is reduced and sound design optimised.
The lecture will discuss the unique role the sound camera plays in the process of observation, analysis, understanding and improvement. The digital sound camera developed by Sorama enables visualisation and quantification of sound sources. This is done based on spatial sound pressure measurements at a certain distance from the source after which, down to the source surface and in any direction, the entire sound field can be calculated . In the lightweight 1024-channel microphone array, new MEMS sensor technology with FPGA and GPU-based signal processing.
Finally, the Sorama Cam will be demonstrated live on one or more practical cases. You will also be challenged to join the discussion on how you see the deployment of the sound camera in your own engineering practice or environment
