    Four available methods: Phone pair; Beamforming; Hyperbolic; Crossed bearings. In all methods, simply select a sound in the spectrogram and click mouse buttons to generate a location.

    • produces a bearing to the animal
    • for hydrophone arrays towed from ships, it's ambiguous whether the bearing is left or right of the ship

    frequency imageFrequency beamforming (>= 3 phones)

    • also produces a bearing
    • can work better for faint sounds
