4. Why?
Hasn't someone done that
already?
Long term purpose: beneficial for
all, for cetaceans and people
Short term objective: try to help you
continue the work
8. Future Features
Communicator Tool
Acoustic features, ex. Freq range
Better on-shore analysis
Exchange between teams
Recognition levels
Species (80)
Network, teams, public
Medical application
Academic experiment designs
9. Design
Decisions
Fundamental
Emit what we receive, recognize
what we emit
Voltage sampling rate
Frequency sampling rate
First series for whistles only
Portable, underwater
Off the shelf, inexpensive
Tools for others, not for self
10. Constraints
Severe
Real-time, and near real-time
Max 3 threads on current mobiles
Freq sampling
Voltage sampling
Built-in/External mic, Emitter
Device memory
No internet underwater
Resources ⏳ $
11. Assumptions
Everything is an assumption
Access to free dolphins
Free dolphins interested enough
Existing data applicable to ML, and
long data collection phase
Sufficient resources
Ineffective opposition
12. Other Tools
Surface & Underwater
Collect & analyse data from other
sources
Analyse data from communication
sessions
Data exchange
Graphics
Video analysis
Medical support
Execute dolphin commands
13. Development
Phases
The sea is the limit
Proof of concept, soon in gitlab
Versions of communicator tool,
models
Network, teams
Academia
Medical use
