Abstract

This research addresses the challenges of audio data compression in beehive monitoring by exploring the feasibility and effectiveness of the Free Lossless Audio Codec. The study demonstrates that Free Lossless Audio Codec compression reduces resource consumption without compromising critical acoustic features or AI performance. The methodology integrates Free Lossless Audio Codec compression, feature extraction using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients to capture relevant acoustic characteristics, and machine learning models, specifically Support Vector Machines, to classify and analyze hive conditions. The results demonstrated that Free Lossless Audio Codec outperformed MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and uncompressed Waveform Audio File formats in maintaining the efficiency of audio signals and the integrity of critical acoustic features. Key metrics such as classifier accuracy, compression ratio, processing speed, and transmission speed were evaluated using data from multiple sources. These findings position Free Lossless Audio Codec as a highly effective solution for resource-efficient and reliable beehive monitoring systems.
