Project Proposal

Mammal Identifier System

Initial design for an underwater mammal identification device using machine learning and signal processing. Created with a goal of implementing audio signals of dolphin and whale voices to alert motorized boats of mammal presence in underwater locations. Utilization of filters to minimize noise from external factors to increase to accuracy of the identification of specific mammals.

Mammal Species Collection

Our selection also was focused on implementing a solution to decrease the number of propeller collisions with mammals. In order to develop an algorithm to apply to this issue, we selected a few endangered species such as the Northern Whale and Atlantic Dolphin categories.
