Model of reconfigured sensor network for the determination of moving objects location

Abstract

In recent years, the implementation of distributed sensor networks has been allowing to create more and more sophisticated systems especially for environment monitoring. Among those applications are detecting, locating and tracking static or moving objects of interest. The advances of sensor technologies open up new possibilities of solving those sorts of tasks. One of the approaches is the Time Difference of Arrival algorithm, which is designed for locating an acoustic source. Moreover, sensor based systems usually produce a great deal of information streams those are subjected to further analysis: clustering, classification, regression etc. Hence, it is important to develop effective methods of determinations of moving object location based on a special model of reconfigured sensor network. The aim of the research is to propose a new model of reconfigured sensor network for the determination of the moving objects location using Time Difference of Arrival algorithm. The simulation study is presented.
