ohun is intended to facilitate the automated detection of sound events, providing functions to diagnose and optimize detection routines. Detections from other software can also be explored and optimized.

Details

The main features of the package are:

  • The use of reference annotations for detection optimization and diagnostic

  • The use of signal detection theory diagnostic parameters to evaluate detection performance

  • The batch processing of sound files for improve computational performance

The package offers functions for:

  • Energy-based detection

  • Template-based detection

  • Diagnose detection precision

  • Improve detection by adjusting parameters to optimize accuracy

All functions allow the parallelization of tasks, which distributes the tasks among several processors to improve computational efficiency. The package works on sound files in '.wav', '.mp3', '.flac' and '.wac' format.
