Abstrak
The study focuses on the use of Wavelet Scattering Transform (WST) in analyzing marine mammal vocalizations from the Watkins Marine Mammal Sound Database. It addresses challenges in data preparation, preprocessing, and classification methods found in literature. The research introduces a novel pipeline for data preparation emphasizing the use of WST as an alternative method. By employing deep learning with residual layers, the study achieves higher classification accuracy compared to existing benchmarks for both WST and standard preprocessing. The results show significant improvement in accuracy, reducing misclassified samples by half.
The content delves into the significance of marine mammal communication systems and the challenges posed by diverse vocalizations and environmental factors. It highlights the importance of utilizing AI and ML technologies to classify vocalizations effectively, monitor movements, and gain insights into behavior patterns. The Watkins Marine Mammal Sound Database is recognized as a valuable resource for studying marine mammal communication despite its challenges in classification due to variability and complexity.
Furthermore, the study provides detailed explanations of preprocessing techniques such as Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Mel Spectrogram, and Wavelet Scattering Transform (WST). It discusses the mathematical properties of WST, its stability, invariance properties, and its application in understanding multiscale processes challenging to address with standard Fourier techniques.
In conclusion, the research demonstrates superior performance using WST compared to existing methods for analyzing marine mammal vocalizations. The findings suggest that integrating WST into machine learning frameworks can significantly enhance computational efficiency and accuracy in bioacoustic studies.
