Visualization and categorization of ecological acoustic events based on discriminant features

Although sound classification in soundscape studies are generally performed by experts, the large growth of acoustic data presents a major challenge for performing such task. At the same time, the identification of more discriminating features becomes crucial when analyzing soundscapes, and this occ...
