Biotope SonoChiro® bat species identification software

Descriptive :

onochiro provides invaluable help for all users of ultrasonic detectors, especially in the case of stand-alone loggers allowing the accumulation of large volumes of data (SMXBAT, D500X Pettersson, Batlogger, BATMODE, ...).

Its various functionalities make it useful in various analytical contexts: identification of the species present, counting of contacts, quantification of hunting activity (capture of prey), demonstration of social activity, etc.

SonoChiro cannot completely replace manual identification because a zero error rate is unattainable in the current state of knowledge and technological advances. However, SonoChiro® has been built in such a way as to make it as easy as possible to deal with its own errors, including through a set of relevant confidence indices.

Thus, the time saved by using SonoChiro® is considerable. This varies depending on many factors (objectives, quality of recordings, etc.) but it is generally higher than 90%, it even exceeds 99% in many cases.

SonoChiro has already won over many bats.


THE NEW FUNCTIONALITY OF V4: THE SONOVIEW MODULE

Compared to version 3, the big novelty of this version 4 is its SonoView module.

This module saves the expert a lot of time in the post-analysis validation of SonoChiro.

It allows at a glance to visualize the sonograms of each recording, to easily sort the parasites / species / groups of species, to quickly confirm an identification with a low confidence index and to open with one click a recording directly into audio software (Batsound, Syrinx, Audacity…) to take measurements.

Remarks :

Developed by BIOTOPE, SonoChiro allows the identification of 111 species of bats from Europe, the Amazon Basin, the British Isles and the Lesser Antilles.

the SonoView module which now allows the expert to visually verify the identifications of SonoChiro, to modify the identifications before exporting the validated and sorted sounds.
