Medieninformatik @ TU ChemnitzToday and tomorrow we host the 2nd international #BirdNET+ Workshop. As @kahst has put it: a meeting of the "avengers of #bioaccoustics".
Today we Start with presentations of all the projects that gathered at @tuchemnitz to share their knowledge.
After Stefan gave us a Brief overview of the scale at which #BirdNET is used worldwide, Maha is now talking about mis-classification and how the Team tackles this challenging Problem.
Very Nice detail: even though we are in the middle of the city #Chemnitz there is a #EuropeanRobin singing just outside the venue. Well organized #BirdNET Team!
The bird was of course identified by the #BirdNET App ;)
Now Melissa is giving an Update on the ongoing project in #Hawaii. Recorders monitor #avian activity on a US army base to protect animals from flight traffic.
Connor joins US now to talk about #realtime monitoring, which is important in many use cases. For example when monitoring invasive #owl species in southern california with #BirdNET or rerouting tourists, away from mating areas of birds in the bavarian Forrest.
Connor now follows up with a #wishlist for #BirdNET from a ecologial side. One example are priority species #monitoring for forestry management using occupancy mapping. This includes better within-species classification.
After a short Q&A session Holger from the K. Lisa Yang Center for #Conservation #Bio #Acoustics tells us about his work. It includes both #biodiversity / #ecological assesment and (real time) threat detection/reporting and the many challenges that they face in these fields.
Almost as to celebrate: #whobird , an offline offspring of #BirdNET , just released a new Version on the f-droid store.
After the first set of talks we head into our well earened #coffee break. The Presentations will continue at 11:10 am.
After a cup of coffee were happy that Sarab is joining us remotely from the UK and talking about how they use #BirdNET for sensing #ecosystems
After another set of interesting questions were moving on to Dan from #Naturalis in the #netherlands. They run different projects in the netherlands and #Europe using acoustic monitoring and more.
Now #foldAI #foldEcosystemics are presenting their take on #bioacoustics and #monitoring and all the issues they had to solve to geht their recorders working.
With a little delay we head into the lunch break with Brezels ;) #germanExperience
With full bellies we begin the next part with some more talks. Starting is the Museum für #Naturkunde in #Berlin an their Huge collection of bird sounds.
We also have some presents for the people attending the Workshop. #BirdNET
Now the #DawnChorus Project from #Bavaria is telling us how they are combining citizen science and Art in their App. They also provide #educational resources for children and more.
Next, all the way from Costa Rica, Alvaro is presenting their #Euphonia App.
The last coffee break for today to get in touch with each other is on the way. #BirdNET
During the last break people enjoy some time in the sunny courtyard of @tuchemnitz #BirdNET
Time to kick off the last Session for today. #DeepBirdDetect is presented by Katharina, Christoph and Rene. They work an protecting birds in large Wind parks using #ai such as #BirdNET
Leandro is now giving us an overview of their biacoustic work at #biometrio .earth including nature based solutions #BirdNET
