AI model detects whale calls in seismic survey data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an AI model capable of identifying Bryde's whale vocalizations within seismic survey data. This breakthrough allows for the detection of whale calls that would otherwise be masked by the noise of seismic exploration in the South China Sea. The AI's success offers a new method for monitoring whale populations in areas with significant industrial activity. AI

IMPACT Enables non-invasive monitoring of marine mammal populations in noisy industrial environments.
