Sound analyser for bioacoustic monitoring system using LabVIEW

Traditionally, the variety of animal species are accessed using conventional method that is normally costly, consumed a lot of time and the most important missing element is that it does not equipped with any permanent recording device. In order to replace this conventional method, an automated sound recording device is developed. This device has the capability to record the animal vocalization and has the power system to be used in remote area. This paper presents the work of sound analyzers for acoustic and health monitoring of the forest. The sound analyzer is important for the researcher as it can be used for further analysis such as frequency of animal vocalization and pattern recognition. The developed system uses the LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) platform.
