Thesis on Evaluation of Soundscapes in Shallow Coastal Areas Introduced by Clea Parcerisas – VLIZ, UGent – June 28, 2024

The thesis of Clea Parcerisas (VLIZ, UGent), introduced on June 28, 2024 in Ostend, focuses on the event of automated strategies for the evaluation and identification of soundscapes in shallow coastal areas and are extensively used. In such marine areas – such because the Belgian a part of the North Sea – there are a number of elements that make evaluation extraordinarily difficult, equivalent to biofouling (development of undesirable organisms on gear), present noise, noise identification and different elements that disturb the proliferation. or the reception of underwater sounds. The strategies developed by Clea give attention to these areas, areas on which little is thought about acoustic properties. The strategies embrace supervised and unsupervised machine studying strategies, together with audio scene classification. Several types of soundscapes have been described and deep studying strategies have been used to filter particular sounds from the long-term recordings.
