Summary
Listening to Nature: Transforming Bioacoustics through Spatial Audio. This project aims to research new 3D spatial audio processing techniques to analyse natural sounds for environmental conservation, while meeting the tasks, demands and data characteristics inherent to bioacoustics. Expected outcomes include new, accurate and efficient bioacoustics computation technologies, generalisable across different terrestrial regions, species types and environment changes. These could dramatically enhanc ....Listening to Nature: Transforming Bioacoustics through Spatial Audio. This project aims to research new 3D spatial audio processing techniques to analyse natural sounds for environmental conservation, while meeting the tasks, demands and data characteristics inherent to bioacoustics. Expected outcomes include new, accurate and efficient bioacoustics computation technologies, generalisable across different terrestrial regions, species types and environment changes. These could dramatically enhance the efficacy of current bioacoustic monitoring systems while opening up new research directions. Resulting technology could be adopted for immediate tasks like the monitoring of bushfire recovery efforts, and more generally, for the management and conservation of Australian natural resources.Read moreRead less
