Feature Request: Simultaneous IDing of Multiple Bird Calls #68

Closed JetpackJackson closed 3 weeks ago

JetpackJackson commented 3 weeks ago

Hi, I really like this app! There is one thing that I've noticed, is that (for example) Merlin Bird ID is able to identify multiple birds in the same recording/audio whereas whoBIRD doesn't seem to be able to. Is this a limitation of BirdNET? I understand if that's the reason, and perhaps it's unfair of me to compare since eBird/Merlin is managed/made by a much larger group of people with funding and such. I was just wondering if this was possible. Thank you in advance.

it does, maybe you need to lower the threshold which however may also lead to more false detections. The app shows up to 2 detections if their probability is above the threshold.

BTW, BirdNet is much better than Merlin, it is the newer model and knows a lot more birds

Alright, thank you for getting back to me so quickly! And thank you for the info about the threshold, I didn't realize it could apply to detecting multiple birds at once. I will mark this as solved.
