Multiple Target Tracking in Wireless Sensor
Networks
Spring 2006 CS 649 2
· Problem: Based on distributed sensor measurements,
senor nodes collaborate to detect presence of targets of
interests, estimate and update (track) states (position,
velocity, etc.) of targets over time.
· Key Challenges:
· Data/information dissemination, management, and storage
· Dynamic resource allocation and control
· Combining measurements from multiple and potentially
multimodal sensors (data fusion problem)
· Multiple target disambiguation
