Audio gunshot recordings can be helpful for crime scene reconstruction, estimation of the shooter's location and orientation, and verification of eyewitness accounts. The audio evidence can include the muzzle blast, the shock wave signature if the projectile is traveling at supersonic speed, and possibly even the characteristic sound of the firearm's mechanical action if the recording is obtained close to the shooting position. To investigate the acoustical phenomena associated with gunshot evidence, a systematic set of rifle shots were made from distances ranging from 10 meters to nearly 800 meters away from the recording microphone. This paper summarizes the primary acoustical evidence derived from these recorded gunshots, and suggests several strengths and weaknesses of gunshot analysis for forensic purposes.

The well-known advantages of pipelining as applied to Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Residue Number System (RNS) arithmetic digital filters is extended to the important area of Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) digital filters through a new technique based on augmentation of the IIR transfer function. Through this technique, pipelined IIR filters based on RNS Read-Only-Memory (ROM) table look-up techniques can be designed which offer throughput rates equal to the table look-up time of the ROM's. This high-speed realization can be achieved even though the recursive filter algorithm requires multiple delays in realizing the output of the filter. For the example of a typical second-order IIR filter, the pipelined structure represents a five-fold increase in speed over standard techniques. Higher order realizations will yield proportionately higher speed improvements. Although the new technique does increase somewhat the hardware complexity of the filter, the increase in speed will often justify the additional hardware. The paper discusses the basic technique, stability considerations, and hardware realizations.

This paper describes a system capable of classifying stochastic, self-affine, nonstationary signals produced by nonlinear systems. The classification and analysis of these signals is important because they are generated by many real-world processes. The first stage of the signal classification process entails the transformation of the signal into the multifractal dimension domain, through the computation of the variance fractal dimension trajectory (VFDT). Features can then be extracted from the VFDT using a Kohonen self-organizing feature map. The second stage involves the use of a complex domain neural network and a probabilistic neural network to determine the class of a signal based on these extracted features. The results of this paper show that these techniques can be successful in creating a classification system which can obtain correct classification rates of about 87% when performing classification of such signals without knowing the number of classes.

This paper presents a new approach to lossy image compression through singularity preservation to obtain high compression ratios. The concept of this approach is based on a conjecture that image singularities carry most of the perceptual information, hence the essential part of an image should be represented by its singularity as opposed to its energy alone. Wavelet maxima have been chosen to represent signal singularity because of their ability to characterize image singularity fully. There are algorithms to reconstruct the original image faithfully from wavelet maxima. A compression scheme can then be designed to reduce the bit rate while preserving singularities. The resulting low bit-rate image has sharp edges without distortions, such as blockiness or blurs. This approach has been used to compress aerial ortho images, in which the perceptual quality of a 27 peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) singularity-preserving image outperforms that of a 30 dB PSNR energy-preserving joint-photographic expert group (JPEG) image at a 15:1 compression ratio.
