Crowd Sound AI

AGLテクノロジー–サウンドのクラウドソーシング

AGL Technology provides “The Voice Behind Things that Move.” We deliver advanced cognitive solutions using acoustic, video and movement sensors.

CrowdSound is an AGL Technology sound collection tool that is used to crowd source sounds that are used for machine learning. CrowdSound can be used to collect animal welfare, respiratory and environmental sounds associated with animal production. Show more…

The Expert Crowd

The “crowd” is comprised on experts in a field of specialization (e.g. turkey, broiler, swine production). When the Expert enters a production facility and recognizes these unique sounds, the CrowdSound app facilitates capturing the sound and annotation associated with the animal or production facility.

How to Gain Access

A user gains CrowdSound access via the user request form enabled in the downloaded app. The CrowdSound administrator must approve the user access request before the user’s account is activated.

Collecting Sound is Easy

After the first-time login, the user is launched to the Sound Capture screen. Here the user can quickly initiate recording up to a 30 second clip. Upon completion of the recording, the user can elect to annotate the specific sound clip; or the user can immediately initiate the next sound recordings. Note that collecting multiple recording sessions of a specific sound (e.g. sneezing, coughing) is highly encouraged – more data recordings are encouraged to build the Expert Ear.

Sound Clips are Only Uploaded after being Annotated

If you elect to collect multiple sound clips without stopping to annotate, the sound clips will be staged on your phone for annotation. The sound clips will not be uploaded to the CrowdSound Cloud until you have completed annotating the clips in the Group Annotation form.

Congratulations and Thanks

The Contributions screen allows you to see your sound contributions in building the Expert Ear! Thanks for helping provide the voice for animals.
