Computational bioacoustics with deep learning: a review and roadmap

Dan Stowell

Summary: Animal vocalisations and natural soundscapes provide valuable evidence for studying animal behaviors, populations, and ecosystems. Computational bioacoustics, especially deep learning, has made significant progress recently, benefiting from affordable digital sound recording devices and advancements in informatics. However, there are still unresolved problems in this field, and tasks that have not been fully explored. This paper reviews the latest developments in deep learning for computational bioacoustics and offers a subjective but principled roadmap for future research.

Estimating bird density using passive acoustic monitoring: a review of methods and suggestions for further research

Cristian Perez-Granados et al.

Summary: Passive acoustic monitoring is a non-invasive tool for automated wildlife monitoring, with potential benefits including reducing biases related to traditional field surveys. While using autonomous recording units (ARUs) to estimate animal density has been traditionally challenging, recent studies have proposed approaches to estimate bird density using ARUs. Many studies have shown that bird estimates obtained from ARUs are consistent with those from human surveyors, and some methods have been successful in reducing biases in acoustic surveys.

Survey coverage, recording duration and community composition affect observed species richness in passive acoustic surveys

Connor M. Wood et al.

Summary: The study indicates that observed species richness is influenced by survey coverage and recording duration, while species detection probabilities are affected by reducing the number of days of recording and daily recording duration. The impact of survey coverage decreases as recording duration decreases, and rare species are more likely to be underestimated as survey coverage decreases. Increasing recording duration lowers the cost per species observed.

The Kinabalu Recorder, a new passive acoustic and environmental monitoring recorder

Eva Catharina M. Karlsson et al.

Summary: Low-cost options for long-term acoustic monitoring in terrestrial ecology are increasingly available, but integration with sensors for additional data logging is rare. A hardware system called the Kinabalu Recorder, designed for both acoustic and environmental data logging, offers a cost-effective solution that promotes cross-field collaboration.

Comparing recurrent convolutional neural networks for large scale bird species classification

Gaurav Gupta et al.

Summary: This study presents a deep learning approach for large-scale prediction and analysis of bird acoustics from 100 different bird species. The hybrid modeling approach involving CNN and RNN shows the most accurate model on this dataset, with the best performing model achieving an average accuracy of 67% over 100 bird species and a highest accuracy of 90% for the Red crossbill species. Visual analysis of learned representations reveals intuitive clustering of related bird species.

Distance estimation of howling golden jackals (Canis aureus) using relative sound level

Graf Lukas et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that Golden jackals have a complex repertoire of calls used for different communication types. By using bioacoustic stimulation and passive recording devices, researchers can effectively monitor and estimate the distance and number of responding animals in Golden jackal packs.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Chaco Chachalaca (Ortalis canicollis) Over a Year: Vocal Activity Pattern and Monitoring Recommendations

Cristian Perez-Granados et al.

Summary: The declining Neotropical bird, Chaco Chachalaca, was monitored using passive acoustic monitoring and automated signal recognition software for the first time. The study revealed the vocal behavior of the species and proposed an acoustic monitoring protocol. The species was found to be vocally active throughout the day and night, with breeding season occurring in the last months of the dry season in the Brazilian Pantanal.
