Using neural-network soundscapes to protect natural environments
- totetsu 6y agoI've wanted to do this for a few years.
- gt2 6y agoI've heard of this concept some years ago, but can't recall where from at the moment.
- micky_t 6y agoThere was the same research done with Coral reefs [1] and I thought Oregon State University did something similar in forests as well. I can provide some reef sounds if you'd really like to hear :) [1] https://marine-conservation.org/taking-pulse-of-coral-reefs/ https://marine-conservation.org/taking-pulse-of-coral-reefs/
- macromagnon 6y agoMaybe you could put them up on bandcamp? A lot of ambient/soundscape composers use environmental sounds.
- reinkaos 6y agoThere's also a company called Rainforest Connection using machine learning to detect deforestation: https://blog.google/technology/ai/fight-against-illegal-deforestation-tensorflow/ https://blog.google/technology/ai/fight-against-illegal-defo...
- boomahora 6y agoThis would be very useful for illegal mining activities as well.
- hirako2000 6y ago"such systems could be deployed around the globe as a means of assisting land managers with detecting illegal activities in real-time." I doubt the problem is in detecting illegal activities harming the environment. And deploying iot devices across million km, I highly doubt this is economically viable, even if the devices cost nothing, deploying them would be a huge investment. Surely satellites can already do a decent job of detecting illegal activities, at scale. Research funding continues going downhill with non sensical investments.
