BatEchoMon (Bat Echolocation Monitoring)
Context
India has developed its first automated bat monitoring and detection system – BatEchoMon, marking a major technological and ecological milestone in wildlife research.
What is BatEchoMon?
- BatEchoMon (Bat Echolocation Monitoring) is India’s first automated bat monitoring system.
- It detects and analyses bat echolocation calls in real-time using a combination of:
- Ultrasonic detector (Audiomoth)
- Raspberry Pi microprocessor
- AI-based algorithm (convolutional neural network)
- It identifies bat species, records activity patterns, and generates audio and visual data (spectrograms).
- It runs autonomously—activating at sunset—and is powered by solar energy with Wi-Fi-enabled data transmission.
- Developed by researchers at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), it is a low-cost, modular, and efficient solution for large-scale bat ecology research in India.
