This record represents bocaccio calls detection from raw passive acoustic data. Calls were detected automatically using Triton's Fish Detector. Recordings were first decimated to a sample rate of 2 kHz. The fish detector filtered the time series between 100 and 950 Hz, and computed cross-correlation between the envelope of a filtered example call and 75s of the envelope of the filtered time series. To detect signals within varying background noise, we used a floating threshold of the median cross correlation value over the current 75 s of data, with a threshold offset of 2e-9 above the median. Detections were evaluated if they reached above this threshold. Consecutive calls were required to have a minimum time gap of 0.5 s to be detected separately. RMS received level was computed over the potential detection period and a time series of the length of the bocaccio call template before and after the detection. Detections were considered false and discarded if the signal-to-noise ratio between the detection period and the timeseries before and after the detection was less than 0.01. The threshold was evaluated based on the distribution of histograms of manually verified true and false detections. A trained analyst verified the detections as true or false.These data were recorded at SanctSound Site CI01_02 between March 25, 2019 and August 04, 2019.
