Abstract This paper proposes a machine learning system for identification of queen-less beehives by using audio signal enhancement methods and neural networks. In the proposed system, noisy audio signals captured from beehives are enhanced by using a Wiener filter; Improved Mel-frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (IMFCC) of the enhanced signals are then extracted and fed to a neural network. The result shows that the application of the proposed filter can improve the classification accuracy by at least 12%. The classification accuracy depends on the SNR of the input audio signal.
