LocationFilterThreshold

[MueJosh]

Implemented with commit 954c681

EDIT: "I've just seen that maybe the issue is on my side, I'll get to this in the evening."

EDIT_2: It's working flawlessly! Great work and fast commit ❤️ Thank you

Unfortunately it still doesn't work as it should.. I don't know where the issue could be. My settings haven't changed, I updated the container a few days ago. (No idea how I can find out which version I'm running. It says :latest - but it's doing this all the time)

# BirdNET-Go configuration

# BirdNET model specific settings
birdnet:

    threads: 4 # 0 to use all available CPU threads
    locale: en # language to use for labels

Location edited out because privacy, the last digit on longitude is "0" maybe that's an issue? Idk

I will add more debugging options. Are you able to compile github codebase yourself or do you require pre-compiled binary?

Compiling is quite easy, just install go 1.22.2, clone github repository and run make

I can try in the next week or so. It's the same for every Debian based system? (E.g. raspberry 02w)

[tphakala]

Yes, compile process is same for any Debian/Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi OS based systems

Okay, i have it running, but now what. I compiled it with make (getting "go" to work was harder than thought) Now I'm basically stuck like in my first discussion

I can start it with ./birdnet-go realtime but i don't know whats different.

Since yesterday i have it running in a docker container (docker build with the dockerfile), it works but i think (not tested) the Location Filter Threshold still doesn't do its Thing.

Should i do something different?

Edit: ouff... for bubo_bubo i have to set it to 0.0006 (with the new analyzer model)- that wasnt the problem- still no detection

[MueJosh]

Weird stuff, some birds below 0.01 get detected (LFT set to 0.0006). BUT Not a single Owl (except the Tawny Owl- its everywhere..) gets detected unless I change the Location to 0 then all of them work (including the owls from the species_config.csv - maybe its case sensitive? i have it set up in capital letter [e.g. Eurasian Eagle-Owl] for now)

This just proves that something is still very wrong with the Location Filter Threshold

[MueJosh]

the "dog bark filter" also seems to eat up some Owl calls Im testing it with this video/sounds for now Youtube European Owls - Sounds when its set to "false" it detects the eagle owl most of the time- but when its set to "true" its a whole different story... (not an issue at all, I turn it off for now)

[tphakala]

Dog bark filter is meant to filter out owl calls, at my area almost every single owl detection is a dog. But I am sure there is room for improvement for its logic.

I will try to add some debugging code next weekend to help troubleshoot with location filtering.

Oh, and I thought it was meant to filter out dog barks and not owl calls. Good to know 👍

Sounds good! Thank you
