BirdNET: AI listening for life
summary
BirdNET is an open source convolutional neural network that converts audio to spectrograms, matches patterns against millions of labeled clips and returns a species name with a confidence score, covering 3,000 species worldwide. The system runs offline on small devices, supports continuous recording, and a deployed Reinforce shelter with two cameras and a microphone logs 313 bird detections in one week at Villa Le, showing practical, non‑intrusive population monitoring.
