Acoustic source localisation with AudioMoth

Abstract
AudioMoth (https://www.openacousticdevices.info) is an open-source low-cost acoustic recorder that is widely used for environmental
monitoring. It has recently been extended to use the pulse-per-second signal from a GPS receiver to synchronise recordings.
This allows large numbers of AudioMoth devices to be deployed, all generating precisely aligned recordings that can then be
used to determine the location of acoustic events captured by multiple recordings. In this project, you will develop the necessary
software to identify and localise acoustic events from such synchronised recordings. The resulting software will be used by
conservation biologists who seek to use synchronised recordings to count individual animals and to study the spatial and temporal
patterns of calls with groups of animals.
