1. A method for analyzing a scene for one or more sounds of interest, comprising:
receiving acoustic signals from the scene;
identifying a subset of the acoustic signals at one or more locations in the scene where the acoustic signals have at least one acoustic parameter that satisfies a predetermined condition;
generating acoustic image data based on the subset of the acoustic signals; and
generating a display image that includes the acoustic image data and electromagnetic image data representative of electromagnetic radiation from the scene, wherein the display image visually indicates at least one of the one or more locations in the scene where the acoustic signals have the at least one acoustic parameter that satisfies the predetermined condition.
