Acoustical Working Group Studies--Chapter Two: Data Reduction and Analysis,

Abstract

The task of the analyst is to transform the raw data obtained through a data acquisition mission into formats useful for action plans and engineering designs. This is accomplished by categorizing the data in accordance with its relevance to the solution of the mission objectives, and by reducing the data in the frequency and time domain formats. A survey of techniques for data reduction in the frequency and time domains is presented with examples. In addition, specialized methods based upon the use of directional sensors, arrays, and correlation techniques are described. Mathematical models of sources, transducers, and environments useful for scenario analysis are exemplified. (Author)
