The Big Picture

Authors: Samuel Watson (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa / HCDP)

By processing data directly at the collection source, edge computing networks like Sage/Waggle offer unique advantages over using centralized servers for ecological monitoring tasks. Audio in particular is useful for tracking metrics like noise pollution from human development or population statistics for vocal wildlife in the area (birds, insects, frogs, etc.). Further analysis can provide deeper insights into the overall health of the ecosystems where nodes are deployed.
