Abstract

See full text

A method for estimating the sensitivity in an environment of a sound emission detector device capable of detecting a physical phenomenon producing a spatially limited sound emission, said detector device comprising a transducer array, said method comprising a) receiving at least one signal from at least one respective transducer of the transducer array, said array being place within said environment, b) estimating from the at least one signal received at step a) a detection threshold value of a spatially limited source sound emission parameter, c) estimating from the detection threshold value estimated at step b) a quantity representative of a magnitude of the physical phenomenon, d) displaying the quantity estimated at step c) so as to inform the user of the sensitivity of the detector.
