Abstract/OtherAbstract:
As described by Mohl et al. J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 114, 1143-1154 (2003)], the acoustic properties of the received clicks of a turning sperm whale change as the whale rotates. These changing properties (the time signal, the discrete Fourier transform, and the discrete wavelet transform are studied here) confound cluster analysis attempts to identify individual whales by grouping like clicks in classes representing individuals. The 4th International Workshop on Detection, Classification and Localization of Marine Mammals Using Passive Acoustics has associated workshop data containing a sequence of sperm whale clicks which most likely come from the same individual (as shown by careful manual click analysis) turning with respect to the acoustic recording buoy. The time domain sequence of clicks indicates that the angle of a line from the head of the whale to the buoy appears to be changing from greater than 90 deg to less than 90 deg and back again. Time evolution and click change detection are applied to follow the whale and give correct automatic identification. This analysis is incorporated into the clustering process.
