Although the speed and maneuvering capability of current aerospace targets demand more efficient algorithms, many complex techniques have already been proposed in the literature, which primarily cover the defense applications of tracking methods. Traditionally, target tracking has been used for aerospace applications, such as, tracking highly maneuvering targets in a cluttered environment for missile-to- target intercept scenarios. Virtual target tracking (VTT) as applied to mobile satellite communication networks Although the choice of the density control algorithm has little impact on the tracking precision, OGDC outperforms GAF and A3 in terms of tracking time. Moreover, among the evaluated density control algorithms, OGDC is the best option among the three. Our results show that DPE is a better choice for target tracking applications than RPE. In addition, we analyze the impact of network density, residual integration with density control, and k-coverage on both target tracking accuracy and network lifetime. We adapt the density control algorithms to address the k-coverage problem. In this work, we analyze the impact of localization algorithms (RPE and DPE) and density control algorithms (GAF, A3 and OGDC) on target tracking applications. Therefore, density control algorithms are used to increase network lifetime while maintaining its sensing capabilities. In addition, sensor networks are often deployed in remote or hostile environments.

Consequently, localization systems are essential for target tracking applications. The networks' ability to locate and track an object is directed linked to the nodes' ability to locate themselves. Target tracking is an important application of wireless sensor networks. On the Impact of Localization and Density Control Algorithms in Target Tracking Applications for Wireless Sensor NetworksĬampos, Andre N. In particular it is shown that an approximate filter known as the labeled multi-Bernoulli filter can simultaneously track one thousand five hundred targets in clutter on a standard laptop computer. This article demonstrates the capability of the random finite set approach to provide large scale multi- target tracking algorithms. Multi- target tracking for on-line applications involving a large number of targets is extremely challenging. Multi- target tracking is intrinsically an NP-hard problem and the complexity of multi- target tracking solutions usually do not scale gracefully with problem size.
