New Publication for 2024: Birds Take Center Stage in New Research on Permaculture Landscapes and Biodiversity


Title: Multi-staged Bird Species Classification Through CNN using Bird Vocalizations 

Authors: Albert John De Vera, Rock Christian Tomas, Jabez Joshua Flores, Anton Domini Sta. Cruz

Abstract (preview): The biodiversity of birds may serve as a proxy for the Gini index of a permaculture landscape. Manual biodiversity monitoring can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires highly trained ornithologists. To mitigate these problems, an automated solution is proposed using digital signal processing (DSP) and image classification using deep learning.
