At our October 2024 General Meeting, recent Cornell graduate, Elliott Ress, took us behind the scenes of the Sound ID feature of the Merlin Bird ID app. Powered by MerlinVision, this almost magical feature is made by taking sound recordings, ID’ing the birds making the calls, and feeding it into the machine learning of Merlin. Elliott took us through the process of analyzing the audio and explaining how it works and it is fascinating!
