A small collection of bash scripts for audio collected by the AudioMoth acoustic monitoring device.
The AudioMoth is a small, programmable audio recorder designed for acoustic monitoring. I began developing these scripts to analyze and visualize the audio collected using an AudioMoth. I am not affiliated with Open Acoustic Devices, producers of the AudioMoth.
These scripts require the following command line tools:
- SoX - "the Swiss Army knife of sound processing programs"
- ImageMagick - "create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images"
- ffmpeg - "solution to record, convert and stream audio and video"
These scripts are designed to work on files in batches, using syntax like the following:
bash rename-by-date.sh *.WAV
bash make-spectrogram-image.sh *.WAV
bash make-spectrogram-movie.sh *.wav
My research into using the AudioMoth for acoustic ecology is supported by the following:
