Optimal Deployment for Mobile Target Tracking in Sensor Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mobile target tracking is a key application of wireless sensor network-based surveillance systems. Sensor deployment is an important factor in tracking performance and remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we address the problem of optimal sensor deployment for mobile target tracking. We analyze the tracking performance of three patterns. Simulation results demonstrate that the irregular pattern outperforms the other two patterns.
