Active Acoustic Localization

Active Acoustic Localization is a method used to determine the position of an object by emitting sound signals and analyzing how they travel and bounce back. A device sends out a sound wave, and when it hits an object or surface, the reflection is received back by sensors. By measuring the time it takes for the sound to return and the direction of the reflections, the system can calculate the object's precise location. This technique is commonly used in robotics, underwater navigation, and augmented reality to accurately track positions in real-time.
