Birds play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity. Accurate identification of bird species is essential for conducting biodiversity surveys. However, fine-grained image recognition of birds encounters challenges due to large within-class differences and small inter-class differences. To solve this problem, our study took a part-based approach, dividing the identification task into two parts: part detection and identification classification. We proposed an improved bird part detection algorithm based on YOLOv5, which can handle partial overlap and complex environmental conditions between part objects. The backbone network incorporates the Res2Net-CBAM module to enhance the receptive fields of each network layer, strengthen the channel characteristics, and improve the sensitivity of the model to important information. Additionally, in order to boost data on features extraction and channel self-regulation, we have integrated CBAM attention mechanisms into the neck. The success rate of our suggested model, according to experimental findings, is 86.6%, 1.2% greater than the accuracy of the original model. Furthermore, when compared with other algorithms, our model's accuracy shows noticeable improvement. These results show how useful the method we suggested is for quickly and precisely recognizing different bird species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wireless sensor network (WSN) location is a significant research area. In complex environments like forests, inaccurate signal intensity ranging is a major challenge. To address this issue, this paper presents a reliable WSN distance measurement-positioning algorithm for forest environments. The algorithm divides the positioning area into several sub-regions based on the discrete coefficient of the collected signal strength. Then, using the fitting method based on the signal intensity value of each sub-region, the algorithm derives the reference points of the logarithmic distance path loss model and path loss index. Finally, the algorithm locates target nodes using anchor nodes in different regions. Additionally, to enhance the positioning accuracy, weight values are assigned to the positioning result based on the discrete coefficient of the signal intensity in each sub-region. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed WSN algorithm has high precision in forest environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
