Estimation of Pollutant-Emitting Point-Sources Using Resource-Constrained Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an algorithm that makes an appropriate use of a Kalman filter combined with a geometric computation with respect to the localisation of a pollutant-emitting point source. Assuming resourceconstrained inexpensive nodes and no specific placement distance to the source, our approach has been shown to perform well in estimating the coordinates and intensity of a source. Using local gossip to directionally propagate estimates, our algorithm initiates a real-time exchange of information that has as an ultimate goal to lead a packet from a node that initially sensed the event to a destination that is as close to the source as possible. The coordinates and intensity measurement of the destination comprise the final estimate. In this paper, we assert that this low-overhead coarse localisation method can rival more sophisticated and computationally-hungry solutions to the source estimation problem.

Target Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...

Many real projects complete through the realization of one and only one path of various possible network paths. Here, these networks are called alternative stochastic networks (ASNs). It is supposed that the nodes of considered network are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of t...
