BIO-ACOUSTIC SPECIES RECOGNITION USING TIME DOMAIN SIGNAL CODING
The Group has been researching the use of time domain signal coding methods for recognition of
sounds ranging from human heart to gear boxes and insects.
TDSC is computational simple and can be easily implemented on microcontrollers for hand-held or
field deployable instruments.
Recent research has concentrated on insects (grasshoppers and cicadas), Japanese birds, badgers
and British bats. A hand-held Intelligent Bioacoustic Identification System
(IBIS) is currently under development. Future directions
will include recognition of Japanese amphibia.
Research Projects
- Bio-acoustic Recognition of Grasshoppers (Orthoptera) in the Field
- Hand-held Recognition System for British Bats (Chiroptera)
- Acoustic Recognition of Statutory Insect Pests
OTHER APPLICATIONS OF ACOUSTICS
The applications of Time Domain Signal Coding (TDSC) are not limited to biological or
entomological signals. In fact, TDSC can characterise ANY bandlimited signal
Research undertaken by Dr Chesmore at his previous place of work included gearbox fault analysis
and detection, detection/recognition of human heart defects using auscultation and
detection of stress levels in humans via ECG. Recent work at York is in the detection and
recognition of vehicles for road congestion studies.
