Abstract:

Recent advances in integrated electronic devices motivated the use of Wireless Sensor Networks in many applications including target detection and tracking. Typically, a Wireless Sensor Network is application-driven and mission-critical. Therefore, the energy efficiency and throughput of target tracking or event detection is critical for the end users, service providers and the system designers. Multi-Target tracking refers to the problem of jointly estimating the number of targets and their states from sensor data. In multi- target tracking the location of multiple targets has to be tracked simultaneously. Tracking multiple mobile targets using sensor networks is a challenging task. This paper proposes a new tracking framework for tracking multiple objects using polygon tracking method. Polygon tracking method achieves better tracking accuracy and energy efficiency by constructing active polygonal shaped regions inside the network. This paper also analysing the average energy consumption in tracking multiple objects based on this framework using NS2 simulations.
