CSplineT: A cubic spline based target tracking protocol for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Devising a scheme for tracking a moving object in a WSN is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a protocol for tracking a moving object by predicting its positions in a wireless sensor network. The proposed scheme uses the locations obtained through estimations for predicting the next target locations. The estimated locations are obtained by computing the locations of the object by sensors lying in the communication range. Extensive simulations are done to evaluate the performance of proposed protocol. The results show that the proposed scheme is efficient and possesses good tracking accuracy.
