Description
Summary:(a) Histogram with a logarithmic scale showing the call count for Cascadia Initiative station J28A for the automatic detector as a function of the peak recognition score (dark gray) and the calls that were identified independently by an analyst as a definite blue whale (light gray). The scaling of the peak recognition score is arbitrary. (b) Precision (number of true positives divided by the sum of true positive and false positives) of automatic blue whale detections as a function of the minimum peak recognition score determined by treating the analyst identifications as ground truth (solid line and circles) and as inferred by comparing detection rates between the calling and non-calling season for blue whales (dashed line and triangles). (c) Precision-recall curve for the automated detection based on treating the analyst detections as ground truth. The recall is the number of true positives divided by the sum of true positives and false negatives. Labels indicate the threshold for the peak recognition score.
