Abstract

An environmental analysis system and method. Remote sensing devices detect nonvisual information. One or more loudspeakers are each associated with one or more of the plurality of remote sensing devices to determine acoustic properties of an area. Another implementation relates to a method for environmental analysis where non-visual information is detected. The non-visual information is classified and is communicated to a server.

Claims (12)

1. An environmental analysis system comprising:

an environmental analysis main device including a first central processing unit and a first communication module, the environmental analysis main device in communication with a server;

a plurality of remote sensing devices each having at least one microphone, a second central processing unit, a second communication module, and a power source, each second communication module of the plurality of remote sensing devices in communication with the first communication module of the environmental analysis main device;

one or more loudspeakers each associated with one or more of the plurality of remote sensing devices; and

an external module having a microphone in communication with an opto-isolation transmitter paired with an opto-isolation receiver in communication with the environmental analysis main device.

2. The environmental analysis system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of remote sensing devices further comprise one or more of a moisture sensor, temperature sensor, accelerometer, air quality sensor, light sensor, color sensor, and electromagnetic radiation sensor.

3. The environmental analysis system of claim 1 , wherein the server includes a machine learning module.

4. The environmental analysis system of claim 1 , wherein the power source is a wireless power source in communication with the microphone of the external module.

5. The environmental analysis system of claim 1 , further comprising a tamper evident device.

6. The environmental analysis system of claim 5 , wherein the tamper evident device includes an ultrasonic emitter and receiver.

7. The environmental analysis system of claim 1 , wherein the environmental analysis system further comprises a contact microphone in communication with one of the plurality of remote sensing devices.

8. The environmental analysis system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of the plurality of remote sensing devices having a telescoping microphone system, the telescoping microphone system having the microphone of the at least one of the plurality of remote sensing devices disposed on a tip.
