BirdVox

BirdVox, a collaboration between MARL and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,  aims to investigate machine listening techniques for the automatic detection and classification of free-flying bird species from their vocalizations. The ultimate goal is to deploy a network of acoustic sensing devices for real-time monitoring of seasonal bird migratory patterns, particularly the determination of the precise timing of passage for each species.
