  • Abstract:
  • Ecological monitoring and biodiversity assessment increasingly utilize acoustic bird identification as a non-disruptive methodology. This research develops a deep learning framework for automated recognition of avian species through their vocalizations. The approach employs convolutional neural networks applied to spectrogram representations derived from publicly accessible datasets including Xeno-Canto and BirdCLEF competitions. Preprocessing incorporates noise reduction techniques and data augmentation strategies to enhance model robustness. Evaluation across multiple species demonstrates effective performance under varying acoustic conditions and background interference. The system's potential for deployment in mobile applications and remote monitoring platforms offers significant value for ornithological research and conservation efforts. Future research directions include incorporating spatio-temporal contextual information to refine species classification accuracy.
