摘要:This paper proposes a human motion tracking approach for a daily life surveillance in a distributed wireless sensor network using ultrasonic range sensors. Because the human target often moves with high nonlinearity, the proposed approach applies the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) technique. A novel sensor node selection scheme at each time step considering both the tracking accuracy and the energy cost is presented. Experimental results in a real human motion tracking system show that the proposed approach can perform better tracking accuracy compared to the most recent human motion tracking scheme in the real testbed implementation.
