Automated real-time acoustic detection of Fin Whale calls at the deep sea floor observatory off Kushiro-Tokachi, Japan

A system for the real-time and fully automated detection, classification and localisation of acoustic sources in the marine environment has been developed at the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics (LAB) of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). The system features modules for the detection, the classification and localisation of short tonal sounds and impulsive sounds and the quantification of the level and the spectral characteristics of...
