Abstract

Focusing on the accuracy of target locating in wireless sensor networks, a target locating algorithm based on curve-fitting is proposed. With least square fitting to the positions of all targets, the curve parameters of the approximate target traveling path are calculated. Moreover, more localization information is introduced to participate in target locating via piecewise curve fitting, thus erroneous factor is reduced in the process of localization. Finally, the localization and tracking of the target is realized. Test results indicate that the proposed algorithm brings higher target locating precision than general curve fitting method, thus the accuracy of target locating in wireless sensor networks can be improved effectively.

... However, the above documented methods are not suitable and accurate for the calibration of remote water measurement. Literature [8][9][10] proposes an adaptive segmented curve fitting localization algorithm based on the influence of environmental factors to enhance curve fitting accuracy. Nevertheless, this algorithm tends to overlook data points with less impact on the fitted curves, resulting in a somewhat one-sided consideration. ...

In response to issues such as poor-fitting accuracy in the remote water meter measurement curve, unsatisfactory fitting effects, and challenges in depicting real data characteristics, a weighted least squares algorithm is proposed based on the remote water meter measurement error curves. Firstly, we have combined the remote water meter measurement error formula with the traditional least squares algorithm to generate an integrated algorithm. Subsequently, the weighting theory is introduced into the integrated mathematical model. The polynomial fitting curve parameters are then calculated by assigning different weights to the data under various flow rates. Simulation experiments are also conducted, demonstrating that the proposed algorithm exhibits higher curve fitting accuracy compared to the conventional least square method. It can accurately analyze the metering performance of remote water under different working conditions and precisely measure its metering error.

The sparse target location algorithm based on orth can solve the problem that the sampling dictionary does not satisfy the RIP property. Compared with the traditional method, the orth preprocessing can reduce the energy consumption and communication overhead, but the orth pretreatment will affect the sparsity of the original signal. So that the positioning accuracy is affected to a certain extent. In this paper, a sparse target location algorithm based on QR-decomposition is proposed. On the basis of orth algorithm, the sampling dictionary is decomposed by QR, which can’t change the sparsity of the original signal under the premise of satisfying the RIP property. The problem of sparse target location based on network is transformed into the problem of target location based on compressed perception, and the localization error is reduced. The experimental results show that the location performance of sparse target location algorithm based on QR-decomposition and centroid algorithm is much better than that the sparse target location algorithm based on orth, and the accuracy of target location is greatly improved.

We address a task coverage problem to cover all given tasks with a given number of mobile sensors. In this context, we consider tasks as certain points or regions that should be probed by sensors. Our work is to find initial tasks to deploy sensors in advance, and find an efficient set of search paths from the initial tasks that completely covers all tasks and minimizes the maximum cost among paths. This is a challenging issue for various sensor applications, particularly those related to time-critical missions, such as search and rescue operations. We propose an algorithm that selects a set of all-pairs shortest paths with fewer duplicated tasks and extends each path using remaining tasks while covering all tasks and avoiding cost increases. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides efficient solutions compared to existing algorithms in terms of coverage and maximum path costs.

In order to solve the problem of low seismic target localization accuracy due to propagation speed variation in anisotropic ground, a novel target localization method was proposed based on the time difference of arrival (TDOA) from the time delay-equivalent propagation speed search table through transforming a position-related propagation speed into a time delay-related equivalent propagation speed. A simulation was carried out to investigate the localization ambiguity area with a right isosceles triangle sensor array. To eliminate this ambiguity area, a five-sensor cross array was put forward. A field experiment was conducted to locate a moving vehicle. The localization results based on the proposed method and the traditional TDOA based method assuming a constant propagation speed of seismic signal were compared with. The comparison result shows that compared with the traditional TDOA based method, the proposed method is much more efficient.
