Q. With reference to the BatEchoMon, consider the following statements:
1. It is an autonomous system capable of detecting and analysing bat calls in real-time.
2. The Raspberry Pi microprocessor attached in it processes the data captured by its ultrasonic detector.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Quarterly-SFG-Jan-to-March
Red Book

[A] 1 only

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Bat Echolocation Monitoring (BatEchoMon) is India’s first automated bat monitoring system. It is an autonomous system capable of detecting and analysing bat calls in real-time.

Statement 2 is correct: The device’s brain is a Raspberry Pi microprocessor (enclosed in a box), which processes the data captured by Audiomoth. It first isolates bat calls from other ultrasounds, then the peak frequency and structure of a bat call are analysed to match a known pre-trained model which uses a convolutional neural network based algorithm.
