INTRODUCTION


INTRODUCTION

◈ Meaning of biological diversity

◈ Measuring biodiversity

◈ The physics of sound

◈ Sound and animals

◈ Bioacoustics based approach


Let’s have a lookup on our Biodiversity

Monitoring Project (BMP)

OUR SYSTEM


Biodiversity Monitoring Project (BMP)

Idea : To design a device that can

eavesdrop on acoustic signals generated

by the animals


Let’s have a look on the components used

for open source implementation

How it works ?


What the System is ?

System that is capable to record human audible acoustic

signals generated by the animals

from any remote area at customizable timings and duration

without any manual intervention.

The Recordings are formatted and stored properly with their

timestamps and are uploaded to storage servers.

BMP - Architecture

How it Works ?

◈ 24x7 Active microcontroller switching circuit powers the

recording system on customized time defined by user.

◈ recording system on power up does the following

❖ Tries to Connect internet via usb modem

❖ Sync the real time from microcontroller / internet

starts recording and resumes the pending upload in

parallel with (if internet) for the user defined time

❖ after recording completion format it , attempt to

upload it

❖ Steps to Power off



◈ Based on ATMega328.

◈ Programmed to provide power for recording system only

at scheduled timings.

◈ Uses DS1307 as an RTC as well as a storage for

scheduled power up timings.

◈ Communicates with the recording system , updates real

time from internet , stores user timings to DS1307

Microcontroller switching circuit (MSC)


◈ Based on Raspberry Pi with a java application

◈ Records acoustic signals , connects to internet via usb

modem, updates real time of MSC ,updates the new

timing schedules from internet if available

◈ Uploads the recorded sound with time stamp to the

storage servers as mp3 - via ftp/sftp

◈ After Completion of recording request MSC to power off

the system then makes a safe turnoff of rasbian

Recording System


◈ Java application establish serial

communication with the microcontroller

switching unit and Raspberry Pi.

◈ Application logs all activities for future

investigation and maintenance.

◈ Establishes SFTP with storage server and

updates user timing schedules from internet

servers.

Features


Features

CompactThe System is

compact box sized

with measurements

18x15.5x3.5

Low Power

ConsumptionRecording system is

powered only when

required

CustomizableRecording time ,

duration,sound

amplification etc are

customizable

Weather ProofThe system is

packed in a

weatherproof box

PortableThe system is highly

portable and

remotely manageable

MaintenanceHigher support and

tracking of logs

Acoustic emissions of animals contains species-specific and

individual information exploitable to listeners, monitoring it

constantly and deeply will reveal visually inaccessible habitats

that may open the key to the secrets of Biodiversity.
