Abstract

This work presents a system designed to prevent unauthorized logging by detecting and locating chainsaw sound sources. We analyze the specifics of chainsaw related sounds and discuss about the possible approaches for classifying the input sounds. The work also highlights several approaches for sound source localization that can be used in wireless sensor network architecture for tracking the assumed intruders. Finally we describe the architecture of the system and discuss on how our approach is designed to be scalable, fail-safe and cost effective.
