From the proposal, Echonomy in Auditory Scene Analysis:

This proposal is about capitalizing on the considerable yet unexploited potential of echoes in computational auditory scene analysis. Our previous work suggests that echoes can facilitate localization and beamforming provided that we properly account for them. Here we wish to explore echoes for synchronization of acoustic devices and sound source separation.

Modeling echoes by image sources (A); echoes in a real impulse responses (B).
