  • Abstract
    This paper discusses an application of gunshot detection on game farms in South Africa. For the preservation of endangered species and commercial hunting of game, there is a need for a system that can identify when and where a gun is fired. Two methods used for gunshot detection are discussed, namely cross correlation and a template-matching scheme based on Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces.
