Problem Overview

Based on results from the VAST challenge 2017, Kasios Furniture manufacturing company has become a primary suspect of contributing to the reduction of nesting pairs of the Rose-crested Blue Pipit, a favorite bird of Mistford residents and visitors to the Boonsong Lekagul Nature Preserve. Findings suggested they dumped process waste in the northeast region of the Preserve!

Problem Tasks

1. Using the bird call collection and the included map of the Wildlife Preserve, characterize the patterns of all of the bird species in the Preserve over the time of the collection. Please assume we have a reasonable distribution of sensors and human collectors providing the recordings, so that the patterns are reasonably representative of the bird locations across the area. Do you detect any trends or anomalies in the patterns? Please limit your answer to 10 images and 1000 words.
2. Turn your attention to the set of bird calls supplied by Kasios. Does this set support the claim of Pipits being found across the Preserve? A machine learning approach using the bird call library may help your investigation. What is the role of visualization in your analysis of the Kasios bird calls? Please limit your answer to 10 images and 1000 words.
