What is an acoustic camera?

An acoustic camera is an imaging device used to locate sound sources and to characterize them. It consists of a group of microphones, also called a microphone array, from which signals are simultaneously collected and processed to form a representation of the location of the sound sources.

What is a MEMS microphone?

A MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) microphone is a pressure-sensitive diaphragm etched into a silicon wafer via MEMS processing. MEMS microphones are used in acoustic cameras in an array as they are small in size and are based on electret capsules that typically have onboard preamps and analog-to-digital converters. MEMS microphones are also known as microphone chips or silicon microphones.
