BirdNET-Go is a application inspired by BirdNET-Pi and BirdNET Analyzer, it aims to be high performance and simple to deploy alternative for both of these.
- Audio analysis based on BirdNET 2.4 tflite model
- Runs on Windows, Linux (inc. Raspberry Pi) and macOS
- File analysis support for WAV files
- 24/7 realtime analysis of soundcard capture
- Analysis output to Raven table, csv file, SQLite or MySQL
- Realtime analysis output compatible with OBS chat log input for wildlife streams
- Birdweather API support on realtime analysis
- Localized species labels thanks to translations by @patlevin
- Minimal runtime dependencies, BirdNET TensorFlow Lite model is embedded in executable
BirdNET-Go has been tested to work on
- Raspberry Pi 3B+ with 512MB RAM
- Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB RAM
- Intel NUC running Windows 10
- Intel desktop PC running Windows 11
- Intel MacBook Pro
For 24/7 realtime detection Raspberry Pi 3B+ is more than enough, it can process 3 second segments in ~500ms.
BirdNET tflite model does not support TPU accelerators such as Coral.
Pre-compiled BirdNET-Go executables are available at https://github.com/tphakala/birdnet-go/releases/, unzip birdnet-go in any directory you wish to run it in, on Windows for example c:\users\username\birdnet-go.
In addition to BirdNET-Go executable you also need TensorFlow Lite C library which is available for download at https://github.com/tphakala/tflite_c/releases. Download library for your target platform and install it in proper library path for your system
- On Linux copy libtensorflowlite_c.so to /usr/local/lib and run "sudo ldconfig"
- On macOS libtensorflowlite_c.dylib to /usr/local/lib
- On Windows copy libtensorflowlite_c.so to BirdNET-Go executable directory or any other directory in system PATH
BirdNET-Go accepts several settings from command line but main configuration method is through configuration file which is created when birdnet-go is first run
Configuration file location is operating system depended and there is alternative locations for user preference.
On Linux and macOS default and primary location for configuration file is $HOME/.config/birdnet-go/config.yaml for user specific deployment, alternative location is /etc/birdnet-go/config.yaml for system wide deployment.
On Windows default and primary configuration file location is config.yaml in birdnet-go.exe installation directory, secondary location is C:\User\username\AppData\Local\birdnet-go\config.yaml
