Abstract

An interferometry system and method thereof detects movements of the surface of a body of water in response to acoustic waves generated from a sub-surface source interacting with the surface. Movements of the surface of the body of water are viewed over multiple interferometric images that can be pieced together to generate an interferometric movie or video. The interferometric movie or video depicts the movement of the acoustic wave propagating through the viewing area. Once the movement of the acoustic wave propagating through the viewing area is known, then back propagation techniques are employed to determine or triangulate the location of the sub-surface source that generated the acoustic wave.
