AeroAcoustics.jl
A Julia package for Aeroacoustics and acoustic imaging.

Overview
This package provide methods for working with microphone array measurements. Utilities for processing beamforming and other acoustic imaging methods are collected in this package, and it is the intention, that a suite of both well-known and state of the art methods is continuously updated.
The current set of methods include conventional frequency domain beamforming (CBF) with source power integration (SPI), and the following advanced methods:

Additional methods can also be added by contributors to this repository. The code structure enables an easy and modular addition of new methods.
Denoising of the cross-spectral matrix is another important part of succesful acoustic imaging. Several different methods are on the roadmap to be implemented.
Source integration of acoustic images is another important feature of this package. The output can be produced in narrow-band, 1/3rd or 1/12th octave bands.
Installation
First install Julia and start Julia in a terminal, VS code, Jupyter or another application that can run Julia. This package is registered and can be installed with
pkg> add AeroAcoustics
the package manager pkg> can be accessed by typing ].
Tests
This package constains tests used for CI, but can also be used to check if the package is working properly when installed. To run the tests, after adding the package, activate the package manager, by typing ], and write
pkg> test AeroAcoustics
The test suite will download an external file, that is stored in test/data.
Documentation
The documentation gives an introduction to the packages and the API.
Community and contributions
Any question regarding the installation, use or extension of the code can be posted in the Github issue tracker. If you want to add an new algorithm, you can fork this package and start developing your code and test it. If you wish to contribute to the general development, you can look for open issues or reach out to discuss further. Contributions are very welcome!
Related packages
Another noteworthy library for microphone array measurements is Acoular, written in Python. AeroAcoustics.jl draws inspiration from Acoular but focusses only on the processing of measurement data, while Acoular also has functionality for generating simulated data.
