An Effective and Robust Decentralized Target Tracking Scheme in Wireless Camera Sensor Networks
In this paper, we propose an effective and robust decentralized tracking scheme based on the square root cubature information filter (SRCIF) to balance the energy consumption and tracking accuracy in wireless camera sensor networks (WCNs). More specifically, regarding the characteristics and constra...
