Automated detection of Hainan gibbon calls for passive acoustic monitoring
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Extracting species calls from passive acoustic recordings is a common preliminary step to ecological analysis. For many species, particularly those occupying noisy, acoustically variable habitats, the call extraction process continues to be largely ...
