Surface mountable sensor array fabric

A surface mountable sensor array fabric, comprising:

• a sheet comprising one or more laminar layers, said sheet comprising a top side and a bottom side, wherein said bottom side of said sheet is configured to be placed on or proximate to a surface of an object;
• an inner cladding layer on said bottom side of said sheet;
• a sensor array integrated into at least one of said one or more laminar layers, and comprising a plurality of sensors,
• wherein each of said plurality of sensors generates sensor data that measures a property of said object;
• and,
• wherein said plurality of sensors comprise piezoelectric acoustic sensors;
• a communications array integrated into at least one of said one or more laminar layers,
• wherein said communications array comprises an electrical connection to each of said plurality of sensors;
• and,
• wherein said communications array obtains said sensor data from each of said plurality of sensors via said electrical connection;
• a sensor data analysis subsystem coupled to said communications array, and comprising at least one processor, wherein said sensor data analysis subsystem
• receives said sensor data from said communications array;
• and,
• analyzes said sensor data to form one or more outputs via application of beamforming signal processing to said sensor data in order to amplify signals arriving from a first set of directions and to attenuate signals arriving from a second set of directions;
• a display subsystem integrated into at least one of said one or more laminar layers, comprising an array of display pixels, wherein
• said display subsystem receives said one or more outputs from said sensor data analysis subsystem;
• said display subsystem displays said one or more outputs on said array of display pixels;
• and,
• said array of display pixels is visible to a viewer that views said top side of said sheet;
• and,
• an outer cladding layer on said top side of said sheet;
• wherein said sensor array is integrated into a first sensor layer and a second sensor layer adjacent to said first sensor layer, wherein
• said first sensor layer comprises a first array of calcium carbonate cells comprising CaCO3;
• and,
• said second sensor layer comprises a second array of potassium bitartrate cells comprising KC4H5O6;
• wherein each potassium bitartrate cell in said second array of potassium bitartrate cells is aligned with a corresponding calcium carbonate cell in said first array of calcium carbonate cells.
