BirdVox-DCASE-20k: a dataset for bird audio detection in 10-second clips

<p>BirdVox-DCASE-20k: a dataset for bird audio detection in 10-second clips<br> =====================================================<br> Version 2.0, March 2018.</p> <p><br> Created By<br> -------------</p> <p>Vincent Lostanlen (1, 2, 3), Justin Salamon (2, 3), Andrew Farnsworth (1), Steve Kelling (1), and Juan Pablo Bello (2, 3).</p> <p>(1): Cornell Lab of Ornithology (CLO)<br> (2): Center for Urban Science and Progress, New York University<br> (3): Music and Audio Research Lab, New York University</p> <p>https://wp.nyu.edu/birdvox</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Description<br> --------------</p> <p>The BirdVox-DCASE-20k dataset contains 20,000 ten-second audio recordings. These recordings come from ROBIN autonomous recording units, placed near Ithaca, NY, USA during the fall 2015. They were captured on the night of September 23rd, 2015, by six different sensors, originally numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10.</p> <p>Out of these 20,000 recording, 10,017 (50.09%) contain at least one bird vocalization (either song, call, or chatter).</p> <p>The dataset is a derivative work of the BirdVox-full-night dataset [1], containing almost as much data but formatted into ten-second excerpts rather than ten-hour full night recordings.</p> <p>In addition, the BirdVox-DCASE-20k dataset is provided as a development set in the context of the &quot;Bird Audio Detection&quot; challenge, organized by DCASE (Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events) and the IEEE Signal Processing Society.</p> <p>The dataset can be used, among other things, for the development and evaluation of bioacoustic classification models.</p> <p><br> We refer the reader to [1] for details on the distribution of the data and [2] for details on the hardware of ROBIN recording units.</p> <p>[1] V. Lostanlen, J. Salamon, A. Farnsworth, S. Kelling, J.P. Bello. &quot;BirdVox-full-night: a dataset and benchmark for avian flight call detection&quot;, Proc. IEEE ICASSP, 2018.</p> <p>[2] J. Salamon, J. P. Bello, A. Farnsworth, M. Robbins, S. Keen, H. Klinck, and S. Kelling. Towards the Automatic Classification of Avian Flight Calls for Bioacoustic Monitoring. PLoS One, 2016.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Data Files<br> ------------</p> <p>The wav folder contains the recordings as WAV files, sampled at 44,1 kHz, with a single channel (mono). The original sample rate was 24 kHz.</p> <p>The name of each wav file is a random 128-bit UUID (Universal Unique IDentifier) string, which is randomized with respect to the origin of the recording in BirdVox-full-night, both in terms of time (UTC hour at the start of the excerpt) and space (location of the sensor).</p> <p>The origin of each 10-second excerpt is known by the challenge organizers, but not disclosed to the participants.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Metadata Files<br> --------------</p> <p>A table containing a binary label &quot;hasbird&quot; associated to every recording in BirdVox-DCASE-20k is available on the website of the DCASE &quot;Bird Audio Detection&quot; challenge: http://machine-listening.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/bird-audio-detection-challenge/</p> <p>These labels were automatically derived from the annotations of avian flight call events in the BirdVox-full-night dataset.</p> <p>If your evaluation procedure requires the precise timestamps of each avian flight call (at a fine time scale of 50 ms), and is agnostic to non-flight call avian vocalizations (e.g. geese, crows, owls, etc.), we kindly suggest you to use the BirdVox-full-night dataset rather than BirdVox-DCASE-20k: wp.nyu.edu/birdvox/birdvox-full-night</p> <p>On the other hand, if your evaluation procedure encompasses all avian vocalizations, and is performed at a coarse time scale of 10 seconds, then BirdVox-DCASE-20k is the appropriate dataset.</p> <p>The annotation campaign of avian flight calls in BirdVox-full-night was performed by Andrew Farnsworth and lasted 102 hours.</p> <p>The additional annotation campaign of non-flight call avian vocalizations was performed by Vincent Lostanlen and lasted 10 hours.</p> <p>The accuracy of the labeling is estimated to be somewhere between 99.5% (100 mislabelings) and 99.95% (10 mislabelings).</p> <p><br> Please Acknowledge BirdVox-DCASE-20k in Academic Research<br> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>When BirdVox-70k is used for academic research, we would highly appreciate it if&nbsp; scientific publications of works partly based on this dataset cite the&nbsp; following publication:</p> <p>V.

Evaluation datasets for DCASE 2018 Bird Audio Detection

<p>Evaluation data audio for <a href="http://dcase.community/challenge2018/task-bird-audio-detection">the DCASE 2018 Bird Audio Detection task (Task 3)</a>.</p> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Crowdsourced dataset, UK (&quot;warblrb10k&quot;)</strong> - a held-out set of 2,000 recordings from the same conditions as the Warblr development dataset.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Remote monitoring dataset, Chernobyl (&quot;Chernobyl&quot;)</strong> - 6,620 audio clips collected from unattended remote monitoring equipment in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). This data was collected as part of the <a href="https://wiki.ceh.ac.uk/display/NRT/NERC+RATE+TREE+Home">TREE</a> (Transfer-Exposure-Effects) research project into the long-term effects of the Chernobyl accident on local ecology. The audio covers a range of birds and includes weather, large mammal and insect noise sampled across various CEZ environments, including abandoned village, grassland and forest areas.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Remote monitoring night-flight calls, Poland (&quot;PolandNFC&quot;)</strong> - 4,000 recordings from Hanna Pamuɫa&#39;s PhD project of monitoring autumn nocturnal bird migration. The recordings were collected every night, from September to November 2016 on the Baltic Sea coast, Poland, using Song Meter SM2 units with microphones mounted on 3&ndash;5 m poles. For this challenge, we use a subset derived from 15 nights with different weather conditions and background noise including wind, rain, sea noise, insect calls, human voice and deer calls.</p> </li> </ol>
