Abstract

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous devices that cooperatively sense physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion, or pollutants at different locations. We propose a new tracking framework, called Face Track, which is the common area connecting one or more region, is called a face. Instead of predicting the target location separately in a face, we estimate the target’s moving toward another face. We introduce an edge detection algorithm to generate each face further in such a way that the nodes can prepare ahead of the target’s moving, which greatly helps tracking the target in a timely fashion and recovering from special cases, e.g., sensor fault, loss of tracking. Also, we develop an optimal selection algorithm to select which sensors of faces to query and to forward the tracking data.
