Learning Stage-wise GANs for Whistle Extraction in Time-Frequency Spectrograms

Pu Li, Marie Roch, Holger Klinck +5

Whistle contour extraction aims to derive animal whistles from time-frequency spectrograms as polylines. For toothed whales, whistle extraction results can serve as the basis for a…

Learning Deep Models from Synthetic Data for Extracting Dolphin Whistle Contours

Pu Li, Xiaobai Liua, K. J. Palmer +8

We present a learning-based method for extracting whistles of toothed whales (Odontoceti) in hydrophone recordings. Our method represents audio signals as time-frequency spectrogra…
