    Abstract: Whistle classification plays an essential role in studying the habitat and social behaviours of cetaceans. We obtained six categories of sweep whistles of two Tursiops aduncus individual signals using the passive acoustic mornitoring technique over a period of eight months in the Xiamen area. First, we propose a depthwise separable convolutional neural network for whistle classification. The proposed model adopts the depthwise convolution combined with the followed point-by-point convolution instead of the conventional convolution. As a result, it brings a better classification performance in sample sets with relatively independent features between different channels. Meanwhile, it leads to less computational complexity and fewer model parameters. Second, in order to solve the problem of an imbalance in the number of samples under each whistle category, we propose a random series method with five audio augmentation algorithms. The generalization ability of the trained model was improved by using an opening probability for each algorithm and the random selection of each augmentation factor within specific ranges. Finally, we explore the effect of the proposed augmentation method on the performance of our proposed architecture and find that it enhances the accuracy up to 98.53% for the classification of Tursiops aduncus whistles.

    Abstract: Detecting whistle events is essential when studying the population density and behavior of cetaceans. After eight months of passive acoustic monitoring in Xiamen, we obtained long calls from two Tursiops aduncus individuals. In this paper, we propose an algorithm with an unbiased gammatone multi-channel Savitzky–Golay for smoothing dynamic continuous background noise and interference from long click trains. The algorithm uses the method of least squares to perform a local polynomial regression on the time–frequency representation of multi-frequency resolution call measurements, which can effectively retain the whistle profiles while filtering out noise and interference. We prove that it is better at separating out whistles and has lower computational complexity than other smoothing methods. In order to further extract whistle features in enhanced spectrograms, we also propose a set of multi-scale and multi-directional moving filter banks for various whistle durations and contour shapes. The final binary adaptive decisions at frame level for whistle events are obtained from the histograms of multi-scale and multi-directional spectrograms. Finally, we explore the entire data set and find that the proposed scheme achieves the highest frame-level F1-scores when detecting T. aduncus whistles than the baseline schemes, with an improvement of more than 6%.

    Abstract: In 2004, Leighton hypothesized that the acoustic calls emitted by humpback whales when feeding using bubble nets, may enhance the effectiveness of the net in confining prey (such as herring) by forming a “wall of sound” with a quiet zone within. Modelling of the acoustics of this phenomenon was previously restricted to 2D; this paper conducts a 3D model of the propagation of signals resembling those emitted by humpback whales when bubble netting, projected into an upward spiral bubble net which data to date suggest is the accurate form for the bubble net in 3D space. In this study, the feeding calls were analyzed in the time-frequency domain to extract acoustic information sufficient to allow modeling of the resulting spatial distribution of acoustic pressure and particle velocity, and how they vary over the duration of the call. Sound propagation in the bubble net was described by using a linear steady-state formulation for an effective medium of bubbly water. Using the predicted attenuation, phase velocity and density in bubbly water, a 3D finite element model was constructed to numerically simulate the upward-spiral bubble net which consists of a mixture of bubbles that exhibit a range of radii. The acoustic pressure field and particle motion field were both calculated within the bubble net. The simulation results show that the energy of the whale feeding call could be effectively focused in the bubble net, generating intensive sound pressure and particle motion fields in the bubbly arm of the net, but with some “quiet” regions closer to the center of the net, as Leighton hypothesized. Furthermore, when the hearing ability of herring is taken into consideration, the results suggest that this acoustic focusing effect could be a plausible factor in trapping them in the bubble net. It also allows speculation on the possible enhancements that the time-varying nature of the call during feeding could give to the whale in this mechanism for the bubble net feeding by humpback whales.

    Abstract: A dolphin's biosonar may effectively discriminate subtle differences among targets. In order to investigate the possible physical mechanism of target discrimination, in this study, a finite element model excited by a biomimetic click pulse was proposed. The acoustic scattering field and stress distribution of a stainless steel shell were simulated. The biomimetic click experiments were then conducted to verify the theoretical predictions in an anechoic tank. The experimental results showed a good agreement with the model simulations. Furthermore, the elastic time-frequency features of three cylindrical shells with different wall thickness were obtained using a fractional Fourier transform filter to eliminate specular reflection and cross-term interference. To compare discrimination capacity of the time-frequency features with and without the specular reflection, a time-frequency correlator was applied to calculate the correlation coefficient between different shells. The results indicated that the time-frequency features can be represented in high resolution with less cross-term interference, and these features without specular reflection showed a good capacity to discriminate the shells with different wall thickness.
