Environmental Sensoring Equipment, Stuart Gage and Peter Grace
These sensors allow an assessment of ecosystem health through sound analysis.
The system is based on sampling the soundscape by recording of acoustic signals at regular intervals to assess changes in the acoustic environment.
When an acoustic signal is received by the server from a location, frequency bands are analysed for the occurence of animal species as well as the frequency of human activity. - Further Info
