Popis: In this paper, we bring out the first research element in building an automated surveillance system for rice fieldmonitoring against pest and grain-eating birds. We study how accurate can be the use of normalized power sequencesin detecting bird sounds, which is a kind of harmonic sound type. We proposed a simply detection scheme (whichcan be executed by sensors), for the purpose of detecting the presence of birds based on the sounds and calls theyproduce. The scheme is based on pruning audio frame blocks to keep relevant peaks, computing the normalized powerof the sequences of captured audio files, and derive the presence of birds by only considering important values ofthe variances of the input files. The experimental results conducted to test the efficiency of the scheme show that91,07% of bird calls from our database can be correctly identified.
