Abstract :
In the application of particle filter algorithm for target tracking in wireless sensor networks, an Auxiliary particle filter (APF) and Gaussian particle filter (GPF) are discussed to solve the particle degradation problem of Particle Filter (PF). By introducing an auxiliary variable and two rounds weighted processes, APF makes the particle weights stable and relaxes particle degradation. GPF uses a Gaussian density function to approximately estimate posterior probability distribution. It doesn´t require re-sampling, and there is no particle degradation. Therefore, three algorithm are applied to single-target tracking in wireless sensor networks. Finally, the comparison of three algorithm´s performance in target tracking is presented and the simulation results are also given. From these results we can see that APF has better accuracy than PF algorithm and GPF has better accuracy and real-time performance than PF algorithm.
