The theory behind it is acoustic location, which is a specialized type echolocation. The most common example of echolocation is in Bats, who emit ultrasonic noise and listen for its return (echo ...

Bats use a perceptual system called echolocation that allows them to produce high pitch sounds that bounce off nearby objects and living things. Humans can't normally hear these sounds ...

People who use "echolocation" employ it in a very similar way to bats - producing clicks that bounce off objects and "sonify" them into a picture of the surroundings. A study of experts in the ...

Echolocation has evolved in different groups of animals, from bats and cetaceans to birds and humans, and enables localization and tracking of objects in a dynamic environment, where light levels may ...

A machine learning algorithm that gives smartphones the ability to create 3D images through echolocation has been developed by scientists from the University of Glasgow. The algorithm can deduce the ...

Animals use sound for communication, echolocation, sexual display, and territorial defense, and bioacoustic monitoring involves the recording of those sounds to infer animal distribution, ...
