Useful links

buzzdetect

  • See the GitHub repo for the source code

  • Read the documentation for running analyses

  • Read our scientific manuscript in the Journal of Insect Science

    • Reproduce the tests or play around with our analyses with the Zenodo Repository containing all of the data and code
  • I’m playing around with Claude Code at my buzzdetect-agentic fork. I do not promise stability or security, but there are fun things happening over there.

buzzr

  • Download from our GitHub using devtools::install_github('OSU-Bee-Lab/buzzr')
  • Our documentation shows you all the tips and trips (try out the main vignette for getting started)

SeeNote

SeeNote is my collaborative-annotation-tool and buzzdetect-results-investigation-tool for audio and video.

Odds and ends

  • extract-positives pulls the source audio behind your detections, so you can listen to what the model heard
  • buzzdetect live! runs a lightweight analysis in your browser or on your phone

extract-positives: a handy tool for pulling detections from recordings

extract-positives is a python utility that you can use to extract the source audio corresponding to positive frames in buzzdetect results. Extract a whole dir, filter by time, add additional context on either side of the frames, and more!
