ShotSpotter Sample Live Fire Test Data

This dataset comprises gunshot audio and supporting data released as part of ShotSpotter Tech Note 098, "Precision and accuracy of acoustic gunshot location in an urban environment".The data derive from a series of live fire tests of the ShotSpotter Respond gunshot location system conducted in Pittsburgh, PA on December 18th, 2018 by the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. ShotSpotter uses live fire tests to validate that the deployed sensor density is appropriate for the community in question, and to ensure the system is ready for production use.Source data from the Pittsburgh tests is comparable to what is submitted as evidence in a criminal trial. These materials comprise time-stamped acoustic recordings, time- and location-stamped output of the pulse processing algorithms, and tagged pulse sets suitable for acoustic multilateration. These data permit other investigators to review or extend the current work.
