Pypam: a package to process underwater acoustics time series

WIP

Thanks for your interest in pypam. The package and the documentation are still a work in progress . Please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions.

Description

The goal of pypam is to allow easy reading and processing of acoustic underwater data. pypam further depends on pyhydrophone for hydrophone metadata management and calibration.

pypam facilitates processing of audio files resulting from underwater acoustic deployments. It enables application of existing methods of acoustic data processing, and it allows the processing of several deployments with one line of code, so it is easy to create datasets to work with. pypam is oriented to extracting features that can be used for machine learning algorithms or to the extraction of broad acoustic information in time-series.

pypam works with xarray structures as output, making it very easy to store the results using different formats (we recommend netCDF).
