| Summary: | License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This paper focuses on the robust indexing of sperm whale hydrophone recordings based on a set of features extracted from a realtime passive underwater acoustic tracking algorithm for multiple whales using four hydrophones. Acoustic localization permits the study of whale behavior in deep water without interfering with the environment. Given the position coordinates, we are able to generate different features such as the speed, energy of the clicks, Inter-Click-Interval (ICI), and so on. These features allow to construct different markers which allow us to index and structure the audio files. Thus, the behavior study is facilitated by choosing and accessing the corresponding index in the audio file. The complete indexing algorithm is processed on real data from the NUWC |
