The classification of ignitable liquids, such as gasoline, is critical crime scene intelligence to assist arson investigations. Rapid field gasoline classification is challenging because the current forensic testing standard requires gas chromatograp...
Whereas using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict natural hazards is promising, applying a predictive policing algorithm (PPA) to predict human threats to others continues to be debated. Whereas PPAs were reported to be initially successful in Ge...
The detection of objects concealed under people's clothing is a very challenging task, which has crucial applications for security. When testing the human body for metal contraband, the concealed targets are usually small in size and are required to ...
