Workshop on the Detection, Classification, Localization and Density Estimation of Marine Mammals using Passive Acoustics - 2015

Abstract

Abstract The Detection, Classification, Localization and Density Estimation (DCLDE) of Marine Mammals using Passive Acoustics Workshops have been held every two years since 2003. This proposal requests support for the 7th DCLDE which will be held in La Jolla, California on July 13-16, 2015. The focus of these workshops has been to bring the marine mammal acoustics community together to discuss computer methods for automated call detection, classification, localization and (most recently) density estimation. The workshops typically showcase a particular species, and there is a public dataset that attendees are encouraged to analyze, with a comparison of results presented during the workshop. The first workshop focused on right whales (Eubalaena spp.), and resulted in the publication of a special issue of Canadian Acoustics (2004) devoted to peer-reviewed papers from the workshop. Subsequent workshops have focused both on odontocetes (e.g. sperm whales, beaked whales) and mysticetes.
