SRS for Classifying Bird Species based on their Sound

1 Introduction
This project attempts to determine the audio features that most accurately classify a given sound sample as belonging to the species Emberiza Schoeniclus. The purpose of this section is to establish the conventions for the rest of this document.

1.1 Document Purpose

The purpose of this document is to outline the Software Requirements for a bird species classifier.

1.2 Product Scope

The purpose of the classifier is to enable automatic recognition of the bird species Emberiza Schoeniclus.

1.3 Intended Audience and Document Overview

The document is intended for the professors and for the next phase of the software development life cycle.

2 Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
This software is a new self-contained product. It should classify any recording of a birds call as either belonging the species Emberiza Schoeniclus or not. The recording should be a .wav file. It will be most useful for environment monitoring and bird-lovers.

SRS for Classifying Bird Species based on their Sound Pre-process audio samples User Input Feature Selection Build a Classifier

.wav recording of a birds call

Test Classifier

Classifier Output - Belongs to the class or not

2.2 Product Functionality

Input the numerical attributes of the training data Build a decision tree based on the attributes of the training data Input the numerical attributes of the test sample Classify the test sample as either belonging to the species or not

2.3 Operating Environment

Hardware Platform Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz with RAM 1.00GB Operating System Windows (32-bit) Software Applications SoundRuler 0.9.6.0

2.4 Design and Implementation Constraints

The software depends on the audio files being separately pre-processed by the SoundRuler tool. The SoundRuler is an application that retrieves the attributes of the sound file.
