Acoustic imaging is a method used to create detailed visual representations of objects or structures using sound waves. This technique involves emitting sound waves towards a target and measuring the reflections or echoes that bounce back. By analyzing these reflections, researchers can create high-resolution images of the object's shape, size, and texture. Acoustic imaging is commonly used in various fields such as marine exploration, medical imaging, and industrial testing. This technology is particularly useful for studying objects or environments that are difficult to access or visualize using traditional imaging methods.
