Acoustical Bird Monitoring

What is it about?

One of the crucial aspects of the environmental protection is continuous monitoring the bird species population, especially bird species being in danger of extinction. This could be done by the automatic acoustical avian monitoring system. Main components of the designed system are: digital audio recorder for bird voices acquisition, computer program automatically recognizing bird species by its signals emitted (voices or others) and object-relational database accessed via the Internet. The paper presents collected data on observed bird species (audio recordings, photos and films) as well as results of experiments testing particular components of the automatic acoustical avian monitoring system.
