Let’s start with a look on biodiversity and overview on monitoring system

1.INTRODUCTION


INTRODUCTION

◈ Meaning of biological diversity◈ Measuring biodiversity◈ The physics of sound ◈ Sound and animals ◈ Bioacoustics based approach


Let’s have a lookup on our Biodiversity Monitoring Project (BMP)

2.OUR SYSTEM


Biodiversity Monitoring Project (BMP)

Idea : To design a device that can eavesdrop on acoustic signals

generated by the animals


Let’s have a look on the components used for open source implementation

3.Components


Hardware Components

◈ Raspberry Pi® + Wolfson Audio Card

◈ Microcontroller + RTC Module

◈ 3G MODEM(USB)◈ Microphone◈ Power Source

BMP - An Open Source Implementation


Software Components

◈ Raspbian (Raspberry Pi®)◈ Arduino programming language

(Microcontroller)◈ Java (BMP Implementation)

Dig out the architecture and working procedures of our system

3.How it works ?


What the System is ?System that is capable to record human audible

acoustic signals generated by the animals from any remote area at customizable timings and

duration without any manual intervention. The Recordings are formatted and stored properly

with their timestamps and are uploaded to storage servers.


Biodiversity Monitoring Project

BMP - Architecture

How it Works ?◈ 24x7 Active microcontroller switching circuit powers

the recording system on customized time defined by user.

◈ recording system on power up does the following❖ Tries to Connect internet via usb modem❖ Sync the real time from microcontroller /

internetstarts recording and resumes the pending

upload in parallel with (if internet) for the user defined time

❖ after recording completion format it , attempt to upload it

❖ Steps to Power off



◈ Based on ATMega328.◈ Programmed to provide power for recording

system only at scheduled timings.◈ Uses DS1307 as an RTC as well as a storage for

scheduled power up timings.◈ Communicates with the recording system , updates

real time from internet , stores user timings to DS1307

Microcontroller switching circuit (MSC)


◈ Based on Raspberry Pi with a java application ◈ Records acoustic signals , connects to internet via

usb modem, updates real time of MSC ,updates the new timing schedules from internet if available

◈ Uploads the recorded sound with time stamp to the storage servers as mp3 - via ftp/sftp

◈ After Completion of recording request MSC to power off the system then makes a safe turnoff of rasbian

Recording System


◈ Java application establish serial communication with the microcontroller switching unit and Raspberry Pi.

◈ Application logs all activities for future investigation and maintenance.

◈ Establishes SFTP with storage server and updates user timing schedules from internet servers.

4.Features


Features

CompactThe System is compact box sized with measurements 18x15.5x3.5

Low Power ConsumptionRecording system is powered only when required

CustomizableRecording time , duration,sound amplification etc are customizable

Weather ProofThe system is packed in a weatherproof box

PortableThe system is highly portable and remotely manageable

MaintenanceHigher support and tracking of logs

Acoustic emissions of animals contains species-specific and individual information exploitable to listeners, monitoring it constantly and deeply will reveal visually inaccessible habitats that may open the key to the secrets of Biodiversity.
