Abstract
Techniques for tracing back a projectile to the projectile origin are described. A method includes detecting projectile track(s) in image(s). Each projectile track crosses multiple pixels in each image. The projectile track(s) correspond to projectile(s). The projectile track(s) in the image(s) are translated to traceback path(s). The traceback path includes a known location and a projectile origin (e.g. the location at which the projectile originated, also termed the shooter's location).
