}Mobile object tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has gained much attention during recent years owing to its growing application potential for the ubiquitous society. In this paper, we present an investigation and taxonomy of the state-of-the-art in tracking moving objects in WSNs. To this end, we define the target tracking problem in general and introduce the major design considerations for an efficient Object Tracking Sensor Network (OTSN) in particular. We typify a complete object…
