At present only birds are identified.

Install

Install thine dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git ffmpeg python3-pip python3-venv python-is-python3 \
  netcat-traditional sox alsa-utils portaudio19-dev

Install sndid from PyPI:

pip install sndid

Get the non-commercial use BirdNet model:

git clone https://spacecruft.org/deepcrayon/sndid-models models

Get the CC by SA 4.0 samples:

git clone https://spacecruft.org/deepcrayon/sndid-samples samples

Usage

Note, BirdNet tensorflow works fine with just the CPU, no GPU required to use the model.

JACK

sndid-jack reads audio from JACK ports, Ardour Master Out 1/2 by default, and identifies birds in the stream.

It logs the identification in a text file.

It saves the identification to an audio file.

Server

The sndid-server waits for connections to feed it wav file segments, then processes the sound.

It prints to the terminal and also logs to sndid.log.

Run thusly:

sndid-server

$ sndid-list |& wc -l
6522

Development Install

Using Debian Stable (12/Bookworm).

Install this repo. Adapt to local Python setup, ala:

git clone --recursive https://spacecruft.org/deepcrayon/sndid
cd sndid/
pyenv local 3.11 # For example, if pyenv is used
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip poetry
poetry install

Run black on the Python files for nice formatting:

black sndid/*.py

Upstream

Birds

BirdNet

BirdNet is the bird model used. The model is under a non-libre CC NC license.

• https://birdnet.cornell.edu/

The source code is available here:

• https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET-Analyzer

birdnetlib

birdnetlib is based on BirdNet, but with a different codebase and author. birdnetlib uses BirdNet's non-libre NC model files. birdnetlib has a dependency on the non-free BirdNet-Analyzer Python code just for testing.

The source code to birdnetlib itself is under the Apache 2.0 license. birdnetlib is Free Software / Open Source Software, with non-libre dependency for testing.

• https://github.com/joeweiss/birdnetlib

In sum, AFAICT, building upon birdnetlib, then creating a libre model, would be a fully libre system without any non-libre dependencies.

Status

Alpha, initial development.

• The system ran from October, 2023 to May, 2024 and generated 671,080 identifications.

• sndid-jack works best. Few xruns.

• Analyzing files works.

• Using sndid-server then sndid-stream works for "realtime", but is kludgy.

Disclaimer

I'm not a programmer and I know less about birds.
