Description

Abstract

This poster illustrates the use of audio sensors to detect the response of birds and speakers to startle them. Modern agriculture suffers from frequent losses due to the destruction of crops by birds; thus, inexpensive tools need to be developed to protect crops. The general idea is to detect high-frequency birdcalls which triggers an audio circuit designed to make noise. A consideration of the feasibility for use in the field will be discussed, as well as potential improvements and limitations.
