Abstract:

In order to satisfy the application request for target tracking in wireless mobile sensor networks(WMSN), a distributed target tracking algorithm is presented. This algorithm includes two parts, one is using node leading to ensure the dynamic connectivity of WMSN, and the other is combining average consensus filter with traditional distributed data fusion architecture to realize the optimizing distributed data fusion with low cost of communication. Simulations show that target tracking effect of the proposed algorithm is good in WMSN and the performance of data fusion is better than traditional distributed data fusion algorithm.
