ATD-300 an AI empowered miniature acoustic device for automatic gunshot attacks detection and image capture

Built on over 30 years of acoustic source recognition expertise in transient impulsives signature, recently highly empowered by neural networks, and wave propagation model driven algorithms, ACOEM has developed the ATD-300, an acoustic sensor for automatic gunshot detection, identification and localization. What sets this sensor apart from the competition is its reliability in terms of detection rate over false alarm and robust high resolution shooter pointing capability. Therefore it can be used directly by police departments without third-party human validation. Resulting from the design effort to distribute intelligence among a collaborative sensor network, processing and artificial intelligence algorithms are fully embedded locally, enabling an alert to be raised in less than three seconds and a camera to be pointed at the shooter with only one sensor. In addition, as the system is already installed in several American cities, we will show how a device-to-server distributed artificial intelligence approach continuously improves the performance of the solution, fed by real field data.
