| Abstract: | Ultrasonic vocalizations studies in rodents have increasingly drawn researchers attention as it have been considered a powerful tool to understand the animals behavior and their interactions in different social and environmental contexts. This paper presents an entropy-based algorithm for accurate and robust segmentation of mouse ultrasonic calls. Instead of using the conventional energy-based features, the spectral entropy is developed to identify the audio segments accurately. The new approach for mice calls detection has been able to detect up to 97% of the vocalizations. |
