Meet ‘BirdNET Sound ID App’: An AI-Powered Bird Sound Recognition App Using A Neural Network To Identify Birds By The Sounds They Make

Only recently did we learn about the enormous amount of work that goes into the BirdNET platform. Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Chemnitz University of Technology collaborated on BirdNET, which employs a neural network to identify birds based on their sounds. As a result, we are impressed with the project’s extensive functionality and adaptability to various uses. Definitely, BirdNET aims to be a one-stop-shop for birdsong identification.

BirdNET can help us in a variety of ways. The iOS and Android apps give the microphone-enabled intelligent devices we carry around in our pockets a helpful use. The browsers, Raspberry Pi, and even microcontrollers have all been discussed by the BirdNET team, which is interested in expanding sound recognition to these devices. There isn’t anything they cannot do since the models and code are both open-source.

For the Raspberry Pi, BirdNET-Pi is a sister project that offers a simple-to-install software package. A lighter version of BirdNET may be used to continually record and analyze data if the Pi is connected via a USB sound card. This is followed by a web-based interface where the user can witness real-time bird sounds being identified. It can also analyze sound, produce spectra, save recordings to disk, and send warnings based on what it hears.

BirdNET-Pi is a free and open-source project, and for the BirdNET-Pi team, the emphasis is on keeping things private until the user wishes to share them with others. Many users have made their BirdNET-Pi instances public, and now anyone can see bird sounds from all across the world on an interactive map.

With a neural network and a noble goal in mind, BirdNET is an incredible illustration of what can be accomplished by a hard-working research team. The ability to use a USB sound card in Pi to learn more about birds appeals to those who get delighted when they hear them outside, even when they can’t yet find or distinguish them by sight.
