There exists a serious problem of mammals like monkeys, cows, wild boars etc trespassing and damaging the agriculture crops. has someone worked upon using detection of these mammals using acoustics and subsequent repelling them with playback of specific sounds

Hi @saieeshg
Your post immediately made me think of this article on the Boombox, developed by the legends at FreakLabs (@Freaklabs), which I think is close to what you are after. There are other approaches too that could be worth a look. For example, there's the super cool system @kimhendrikse has designed based upon AI image detection (linked here). And @EstherGithinji wrote a great article summarising a variety of different approaches. Reach out if you have any trouble finding things and more than happy to discuss anything as this is an area of great interest to me and a lot of other members.
All the best,
Rob

Thanks for the plug, @Rob_Appleby
Yes, we do a lot of work with audio playback as a nonlethal deterrent. We generally don’t do any work on identifying the animal though and perform playback when the device is triggered. You would need some type of classification engine for that.
