+_The metadata associated with each classifier is stored with every click train and be accessed through right clicking on or hovering the mouse over a click train detection. ._ + +## Localisation +The click train detector can be used to localise the position of animals detected by the click train detector using target motion analysis. This generally means that the localisation capabilities are generally restricted to data which has been collected using towed hydrophone arrays. + ++ +
+ +_Screenshot of the click train localisation settings. Currently, only target motion is supported._ + +Localisation is enabled by ticking Localise click trains. The type of localisation algorithm which is used is selected in the Localisation algorithms (See the localisation section in PAMGuard help for more info on localisation algorithms). Localisation using 3D simplex and MCMC can be processor intensive, especially when there are a large number of clicks in a train and so the Algorithm Limits pane can be used to set a maximum number of input clicks for a localisation. If the maximum is exceeded then clicks are sub sampled from the click train evenly in time. + +Generally, target motion localisation only works well when there are a large number of clicks over a long time period. The Filters tab allows users to select which click trains are localised and also to remove spurious results from unsuccessful localisations. The Pre Localisation Filter allows users to select a minimum number of detections before localisations are attempted and a minimum bearing change in the click train (Min Angle range). Click trains with larger angle ranges will generally result in higher quality localisations. + ++ +
+ +_The filter tab allows users to pre-filter which click train are localised._ + +The Results Filter allows for spurious localisation results to be deleted: any results from target motion localisation (which can have more than one possible localisation) which are further away than Maximum Range, shallower than Minimum Depth or deeper than Maximum Depth are discarded. +Running +The click train detector can be run in real time or post processing. In real time add the module and it will automatically detected click trains once PAMGuard started. + ++ +
+ +_TThe filter tab allows users to pre-filter which click train are localised._ + +In viewer mode, add the module and then go to Settings>Click Train Detector > Reanalyse click trains….This will bring up PAMGuard’s generic data reprocessing dialog with two settings, Click Train Detector or Click Train Classifier. The Click Train Detector option will run the detection and classification algorithm again. The Click Train Classifier will only run the classification algorithm on existing detected click trains (much faster). Note that users can select how much data to reprocess in the Data dropdown menu – All Data means the entire dataset will be reprocessed, Loaded Data means just the current data loaded in the display (all scrollable data), Select Data allows the user to define two time limits between which all data is reprocessed. + +## Visualising Results +The results from the click train detector can be visualised in a variety of displays in PAMGuard. + +### Click bearing time display +By default, clicks trains will be shown in the Click Detector Module’s in built bearing time display. Different click trains are represented as different colours. Note that you must right click on the display and select Colour by Click Trains + ++ +

Click trains will be plotted on the time-based display by adding Click detections to the display and then using the right + + ++ +
