Spatial localization based on acoustic observations is a rich field of interest in acoustic signal analysis. This special issue takes a close look at the diverse and growing range of problems in this area and the broad perspectives and methodologies that are presently being developed to solve them. The collection of articles presents recent advances in localization in complex and uncertain environments across a wide range of acoustic disciplines, from animal bioacoustics and acoustic signal processing in underwater environments to in air environments, architectural acoustics, and acoustic transduction.
