Title: Hierarchical Multiple Target Tracking Algorithm for Sensor
Networks
Abstract: Multiple target tracking is a canonical application of sensor
networks as it exhibits different aspects of sensor networks such as event
detection, sensor information fusion, multi-hop communication, sensor
management and decision making. The task of tracking multiple objects in a
sensor network is challenging due to constraints on a sensor node such as short
communication and sensing ranges, a limited computational power and a limited
amount of memory. In addition, since a sensor network surveillance system needs
to operate autonomously without human operators, it requires an autonomous
tracking algorithm which is capable of initiating and terminating an unknown
number of tracks. In this paper, we develop a scalable hierarchical multiple
target tracking algorithm that is autonomous and robust against transmission
failures and communication delays.
