Using Machine Learning to Analyze Animal Call Patterns
We start with a picture of anser, usually the first kind of analysis we're doing is a picture of a day in the life of a forest. We will take just one minute at a time and listen to it, and also look at the spectrogram and draw boxes around the individual animal calls. Once we have these species kind of boxed up, we can even feed them to machine learning agarithms that can help us analyze similar sounds in other minutes of the sanscap. By doing this and comparing them to the known call patterns of different species, they could tick off a whole host of creatures.
