چکیده

Target tracking in bearings-only sensor networks (BOSNs) has obtained distinct interest in the last decade. In this situation, the scalability of the tracking algorithm and robustness against network topologies due to moving platform or node/communication fault are two important issues. This motivates the present work on distributed bearings-only tracking in switching BOSNs adopting consensus-based unscented Kalman filters (CoUKFs). First, information unscented Kalman filters (IUKFs) for bearings-only measurements are derived by statistical linearization approach. Then the IUKF is distributed by computing the average consensus on information contribution with only message exchange between one-hop neighbors. To accelerate the convergence in switching networks, adaptive updating of the weights in terms of gradient is proposed for the consensus strategy. Finally, an example of tracking by a network of mixed static and moving bearingsonly sensors with switching topologies is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. & 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Optimal Observer Path Planning For Bearings-Only Moving Targets Tracking Using Chebyshev Polynomials

In this paper, an optimization problem for the observer trajectory in the bearings-only surface moving target tracking (BOT) is studied. The BOT depends directly on the observability of the target's position in the target/observer geometry or the optimal observer maneuver. Therefore, the maximum lower band of the Fisher information matrix is opted as an independent criterion of the target estim...

Decentralized and Cooperative Multi-Sensor Multi-Target Tracking With Asynchronous Bearing Measurements

Bearings only tracking is a challenging issue with many applications in military and commercial areas. In distributed multi-sensor multi-target bearings only tracking, sensors are far from each other, but are exchanging data using telecommunication equipment. In addition to the general benefits of distributed systems, this tracking system has another important advantage: if the sensors are suff...

Distributed data-aggregation consensus for sensor networks Relaxation of consensus concept and convergence property

This project considers the problem of localization and tracking an underwater target from bearings-only measurements obtained by static underwater sensors. Nodes communicate their local observations over volatile, unreliable underwater channels with the aim being to improve the overall accuracy of each sensor’s estimate, while also aligning the estimates so that all nodes agree on the target lo...

Distributed consensus of multi-agent systems with general linear node dynamics and intermittent communications

Without assuming that the mobile agents can communicate with their neighbors all the time, the consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general linear node dynamics and a fixed directed topology is investigated. To achieve consensus, a new class of distributed protocols designed based only on the intermittent relative information are presented. By using tools from matrix analysis and switc...

An ID-Based Random Key Pre-distribution Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

When wireless senor networks (WSNs) are deployed in hostile areas, they indeed need to be secured by security mechanisms. To do this, cryptographic keys must be agreed on by communicating nodes. Unluckily, due to resource constraints, the key agreement problem in wireless sensor networks becomes quite intricate. In this paper, we propose a new ID-based random key pre-distribution scheme that is...
