Localized Policy-Based Target Tracking Using Wireless Sensor Networks SUDIP MISRA, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur SWETA SINGH, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and National Institute of Technology, Durgapur Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)-based surveillance applications necessitate tracking a target's trajectory with a high degree of precision.

In this work, we propose an energy-efficient target tracking algorithm, which minimizes the number of nodes in the network that should be activated for tracking the movement of the target. We model the movement of a target based on the Gauss Markov Mobility Model [Camp et al. 2002].
