BatEchoMon: India’s First Automated Bat Monitoring System

BatEchoMon (short for Bat Echolocation Monitoring) was developed by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), Bengaluru.

Key Features of BatEchoMon

1. It is an autonomous system designed to detect and analyze bat echolocation calls in real-time.
2. The system functions as a Bat Detector, capable of recording ultrasonic calls of insectivorous bats.
3. These ultrasonic signals are converted into audible sounds for human interpretation.
4. The system is powered by a Raspberry Pi microprocessor, making it compact and energy-efficient.
5. It uses convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms to accurately detect and identify bat species based on their echolocation patterns.
