Whistle classification in the California Current : a complete whistle classifier for a large geographic region with high species diversity Complete whistle classifier for a large geographic region with high species diversity

"The value of passive acoustics as a tool for studying marine mammals relies on the ability to detect and classify sounds associated with these species. Classification efforts typically focus on a single species, or occasionally on a few species found within a geographic region. In an effort to improve our ability to classify species during shipboard population surveys and other passive acoustic monitoring needs, we have developed an automated whistle classification algorithm that includes all whistling species found within a large geographic region, the California Current..
