Pinpointing Location of Videos from Background Airplane Sounds

Schneier on Security

This is fascinating : The video describes a technique that can reveal where an otherwise unidentifiable recording was made by analyzing its audio for the faint sounds of passing aircraft. The technique is both fascinating and frightening. It works by looking at Doppler curves, which plot the way a plane’s sound changes as it passes overhead because of the Doppler effect.
