Automated tracking of dolphin whistles using Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD) filters
This work considers automated Multi Target Tracking (MTT) of odontocete whistle contours. An adaptation of Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD)filter is described and applied to the acoustic recordings from six odontocete species. From the raw data, spectral peaks are first identified and then GM-PHD filter is used to simultaneously track the whistles’ frequency contours. Overall over 9000 whistles are tracked with a precision of 85% and recall of 71.8%. The proposed filter is shown to track whistles precisely (with mean deviation of 104 Hz, about one frequency bin, from the annotated whistle path) and 80% coverage. The filter is computationally efficient, suitable for real-time implementation, and is widely applicable to different odontocete species.

Abstract

This work considers automated Multi Target Tracking (MTT) of odontocete whistle contours. An adaptation of Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD)filter is described and applied to the acoustic recordings from six odontocete species. From the raw data, spectral peaks are first identified and then GM-PHD filter is used to simultaneously track the whistles’ frequency contours. Overall over 9000 whistles are tracked with a precision of 85% and recall of 71.8%. The proposed filter is shown to track whistles precisely (with mean deviation of 104 Hz, about one frequency bin, from the annotated whistle path) and 80% coverage. The filter is computationally efficient, suitable for real-time implementation, and is widely applicable to different odontocete species.
