ISBN-13: 9781614517290 Publisher: De Gruyter Publication date: 06/26/2017 Series: Speech Technology and Text Mining in Medicine and Health Care , #4 Edition description: New Edition Pages: 235 Product dimensions: 6.10(w) x 9.06(h) x (d) Age Range: 18 Years This book offers an overview of some recent advances in the Computational Bioacoustics methods and technology. In the focus of discussion is the pursuit of scalability, which would facilitate real-world applications of different scope and purpose, such as wildlife monitoring, biodiversity assessment, pest population control, and monitoring the spread of disease transmitting mosquitoes. The various tasks of Computational Bioacoustics are described and a wide range of audio parameterization and recognition tasks related to the automated recognition of species and sound events is discussed. Many of the Computational Bioacoustics methods were originally developed for the needs of speech, audio, or image processing, and afterwards were
