Abstract

This paper proposes several methods to estimate the number of endangered birds in their habitat. Our solutions use passive unknown networks sensors to get birds positions and gather data to a central base which runs our algorithms to estimate the number of singing birds. A first scheme derives the motes networks and the data in an altered unit disk graph to give its estimation on the number of birds. The second scheme, a linear algorithm, uses aggregated information from the motes to count the birds. Finally, we confirm our schemes efficiency through experimentation.
