Abstract
Acoustic classification of frogs has gotten a lot of attention recently due to its potential applicability in ecological investigations. Numerous studies have been presented for identifying frog species, although the majority of recorded species are thought to be monotypic. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a method for classifying various frog species using an audio recording. To be more exact, continuous frog recordings are cut into audio snippets first (10 seconds). Then, for each ten-second recording, several time-frequency representations are constructed. Following that, rather than using manually created features, Machine Learning methods are employed to classify the frog species. Data reduction techniques; Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are used to extract the most important features before classification. Finally, to validate our classification accuracy, cross validation and prediction accuracy are used. Experimental results show that PCA extracted features that achieved better classification accuracy both with cross validation and prediction accuracy.
