Real time classification of sperm whale clicks and shipping impulses from fixed ocean observatories
The automated acoustic detection of cetaceans in real time is an important tool to study their behaviour and distribution and for activating mitigation measures in the context of harmful anthropogenic activities at sea. Acoustic data from the NEMO ONDE deep sea observatory (Sicily) indicated that sp...

The automated acoustic detection of cetaceans in real time is an important tool to study their behaviour and distribution and for activating mitigation measures in the context of harmful anthropogenic activities at sea.

The ship noise poses a serious challenge to the detection of sperm whale clicks, since it is an important source of false positives.
