• Abstract summary: Gun violence in the United States has led to a focus on developing systems to improve public safety. One approach is to detect and track shooters, which would help prevent or mitigate the impact of violent incidents. We propose detecting shooters as a whole, rather than just guns, which would allow for improved tracking robustness.

• Abstract: The increasing concern surrounding gun violence in the United States has led to a focus on developing systems to improve public safety. One approach to developing such a system is to detect and track shooters, which would help prevent or mitigate the impact of violent incidents. In this paper, we proposed detecting shooters as a whole, rather than just guns, which would allow for improved tracking robustness, as obscuring the gun would no longer cause the system to lose sight of the threat. However, publicly available data on shooters is much more limited and challenging to create than a gun dataset alone. Therefore, we explore the use of domain randomization and transfer learning to improve the effectiveness of training with synthetic data obtained from Unreal Engine environments. This enables the model to be trained on a wider range of data, increasing its ability to generalize to different situations. Using these techniques with YOLOv8 and Deep OC-SORT, we implemented an initial version of a shooter tracking system capable of running on edge hardware, including both a Raspberry Pi and a Jetson Nano.

• An Empirical Review of Adversarial Defenses [0.913755431537592]
  Deep neural networks, which form the basis of such systems, are highly susceptible to a specific type of attack, called adversarial attacks. A hacker can, even with bare minimum computation, generate adversarial examples (images or data points that belong to another class, but consistently fool the model to get misclassified as genuine) and crumble the basis of such algorithms. We show two effective techniques, namely Dropout and Denoising Autoencoders, and show their success in preventing such attacks from fooling the model.
