Abstract
According to some embodiments, a method for sensing a target frequency of an insect is provided. The method includes obtaining an acoustic signal comprising a plurality of frequencies, wherein the plurality of frequencies includes the target frequency. The method includes isolating the target frequency from the plurality of frequencies using a metamaterial. The method includes sensing the target frequency of the insect based on the isolating.
Claims25
A method for sensing a target frequency of an insect, the method comprising:
- obtaining an acoustic signal comprising a plurality of frequencies, wherein the plurality of frequencies includes the target frequency;
- isolating the target frequency from the plurality of frequencies using a metamaterial;
- and
- sensing the target frequency of the insect based on the isolating.
A computing device, the computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer program product storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to:
- obtain an acoustic signal associated with an insect, wherein the acoustic signal is obtained from a recording device and the recording device is disposed within a target zone of a metamaterial;
- and
- identify, based on the acoustic signal, at least one of:
- a location of the insect, a behavior associated with the insect, a species of the insect, a population of the insect, or a health condition associated with the insect.
