Small mammal detection

Is anyone (other than BTO's Acoustic Pipeline) working on detection and classification of ultrasonic vocalisations of small mammals? We're looking at automatic detection of invasive mammals on seabird islands, so particularly interested in brown rats and house mouse.




BTO definitely has the best classifiers out there at the moment. I know of a few people attempting to improve their small mammal sets, but none are great yet.

What hardware are you using?
