For 6 weeks, we successfully gathered a wealth of video recordings of wild killer whales. When filming the animals with drones, we flew at approximately 80m above them to include as many animals as possible in the frame, and to effectively track the swimming trajectory of each animal. We collected around 500GB of video data. Here is an example of beautiful synchronized orca swimming!

Killer whales represent a striking example of communicative complexity in the animal kingdom, yet a thorough understanding of their communication is hindered by challenges related to data collection, in particular signal localization. By combining state-of-the-art hydrophone array systems with complementary drone footage, we aim to collect a large consolidated dataset with which to decode orca communication and shed light on how complex communication evolves.
