Jankovic B. Radomirovic L. Jovanovic S. Ivanovic S. Tedic M. Zivkovic N. Bacanin Biodiversity plays an important role in all ecosystems. Systems with a higher bio-diversity are more resilient to changes in the environment and generally represent a higher level of ecological health. However, monitoring biodiversity is not always manageable, especially without disturbing the environment. Collecting samples, tagging animals can generally be disruptive and negatively impact an ecosystem. This work explores the potential of utilizing audio analysis for estimating the biodiversity in a non-invasive manner. By combining Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) a unified approach is proposed that ca be used to identify avian species based on the sounds of their calls in recordings. To ensure favorable model performance, hyperparameter tuning is carried out using a modified version of the recently proposed chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA). The best performing optimized models showcase favorable outcomes evaluate on a real world dataset attaining an accuracy of 0.838710 suggesting viability for real world use. bookPart Springer, Singapore 93 108 10.1007/978-981-96-7545-6_7 SIST Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies: CRM 2025: Proceedings of the Second Congress on Control, Robotics, and Mechatronics, volume 447
