Abstract

Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN), with self-organizing and high fault tolerant characteristics, have achieved great advantages in target tracking region. However, the capabilities of these tiny devices are limited by their battery power, storage capacity, computational ability and communication bandwidth. In this paper, hybrid wireless multimedia sensors networks composed of acoustic and image sensors are proposed for target tracking. When the target appears in the detection area, it may change the environment parameters nearby, so acoustic sensors are used to gather target signal firstly. Then, a target location method is executed based on the strength of the received acoustic signal. Furthermore, to achieve energy-efficient target tracking with high reliability and robust, image sensors are used as supplements to the acoustic sensors. This approach also reduces the power consumption communication burden of the whole networks. In order to decrease the number of active nodes, Gauss Markov mobility model is also adopted to predict the target trajectory and minimize the tracking region with considering of vehicular kinematics. Simulation results verify that, compared with other algorithms, our scheme can reduce the energy consumption and improve tracking accuracy.
