Method for detecting avian influenza disease of chickens based on sound analysis

A new audio analysis-based detection method is put forward in this paper to detect avian influenza as early as possible. Because a distinctive difference exists in the short-time auto-correlation functions of recorded chicken sound and ambient noise, the former can be extracted from the record and the latter discarded. The mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) are determined by analysing and processing the frequency domain of the extracted...
