A Comparative Survey of Feature Extraction and Machine Learning Methods in Diverse Acoustic Environments
(MDPI, 2021-02)
Acoustic event detection and analysis has been widely developed in the last few years for its valuable application in monitoring elderly or dependant people, for surveillance issues, for multimedia ...
Pipistrellus pipistrellus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus in the Iberian Peninsula: An Annotated Segmented Dataset and a Proof of Concept of a Classifier in a Real Environment
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Bats have an important role in the ecosystem, and therefore an effective detection of their prevalence can contribute to their conservation. At present, the most commonly methodology used in the study ...
WASN-Based Day–Night Characterization of Urban Anomalous Noise Events in Narrow and Wide Streets
(MDPI, 2020-08)
In addition to air pollution, environmental noise has become one of the major hazards for citizens, being Road Traffic Noise (RTN) as its main source in urban areas. Recently, low-cost Wireless Acoustic ...
A WASN-Based Suburban Dataset for Anomalous Noise Event Detection on Dynamic Road-Traffic Noise Mapping
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Traffic noise is presently considered one of the main pollutants in urban and suburban areas. Several recent technological advances have allowed a step forward in the dynamic computation of road-traffic ...
Towards Automatic Bird Detection: An Annotated and Segmented Acoustic Dataset of Seven Picidae Species
(MDPI, 2017-03)
Analysing behavioural patterns of bird species in a certain region enables researchers to recognize forthcoming changes in environment, ecology, and population. Ornithologists spend many hours observing ...
Home Sound: a GPU-based Platform for Massive Data Acquisition and Processing for Acoustic Ambient Assisted Living Applications for Behavior Monitoring
(IFSA, 2017-05)
Human life expectancy has grown over the last century, which has driven governments to increase the efforts on caring about the eldest population. Therefore, modern trends take advantage of latest ...
