An empirical investigation into audio pipeline approaches for classifying bird species
share
This paper is an investigation into aspects of an audio classification pipeline that will be appropriate for the monitoring of bird species on edges devices. These aspects include transfer learning, data augmentation and model optimization. The hope is that the resulting models will be good candidates to deploy on edge devices to monitor bird populations. Two classification approaches will be taken into consideration, one which explores the effectiveness of a traditional Deep Neural Network(DNN) and another that makes use of Convolutional layers.This study aims to contribute empirical evidence of the merits and demerits of each approach.
