Forest Sound Scene Simulation and Bird Localization with Distributed Microphone Arrays

August 11, 2020 | Shoken Kaneko

Audio-based wildlife monitoring is an important method for studying animal habitations and for the conservation of animal species and ecosystems. In this work, we have developed a highly efficient and scalable forest acoustics simulation algorithm,…
