Abstract

An electromagnetic emission source identification apparatus is provided, the identification apparatus comprising a sensor device, a data transmitter, and a computer device. The sensor device is configured to sense an electromagnetic emission from a source, wherein the electromagnetic emission is sensed by the sensor device as corresponding sensed emission data. The data transmitter is in communication with the sensor device and is configured to transmit the sensed emission data from the sensor device. The computer device is configured to be in communication with the data transmitter. The computer device is further configured to process digital emission data, the digital emission data corresponding to the sensed emission data, so as to determine an identification indicator, an operational characteristic indicator, and/or an accessory characteristic indicator corresponding to the source. The processed digital emission data for the source is then compared to the corresponding identification indicator, operational characteristic indicator, and/or accessory characteristic indicator of each of a plurality known sources in a database operably engaged with the computer device so as to determine a best-match known source corresponding to the source. Associated methods as well as an associated computer device and computer software program product are also provided.
