Abstract

Field biologists use animal sounds to discover the presence of individuals and to study their behavior. The recent development of new deployable acoustic sensor platforms presents opportunities to develop automated tools for bio-acoustic field research. In this work, we demonstrate a real-time wireless sensor system that implements an AML-based source localization algorithm. We will demonstrate a system that is easy to set up and that can localize a whistle in the demonstration area in real time. This demonstration will use the techniques we described in our corresponding paper [1].
