Clustering based Target Tracking scheme has three steps. In the
first step, cluster identification and cluster head selection by
means of Oppositional Gravitational search optimization (OGSA)
with kernel Fuzzy C-means clustering (KFCM) algorithm.
Initially, oppositional gravitational search algorithm (OGSA) is
utilized to optimize the initial clustering center. Afterwards, the
KFCM algorithm is availed to guide the classification and the
cluster generation process. The second step, the Cluster Head
Data Transmission step deals with the transmission of data from
all the members of the cluster to the cluster head within the
cluster. The cluster head aggregates all the received data. The
third step is the Base Station Tracking step, in which all the cluster
heads transmit the aggregated data to the base station. This
tracking step detects the target.
The paper proceeds as follows. The section 2 describes the
related works and the section 3 explains the network model, WSN
formation and GSA algorithm. The section 4 explains the
proposed scheme and the section 5 presents the performance
evaluation of Adaptive Dynamic Clustering Target Tracking
scheme and summarizes the result. Finally, section 6 concludes
the paper.
Abstract
In this paper, an efficient approach is proposed to address the problem
of target tracking in wireless sensor network (WSN). The problem
being tackled here uses adaptive dynamic clustering scheme for
tracking the target. It is a specific problem in object tracking. The
proposed adaptive dynamic clustering target tracking scheme uses
three steps for target tracking. The first step deals with the
identification of clusters and cluster heads using OGSAFCM. Here,
kernel fuzzy c-means (KFCM) and gravitational search algorithm
(GSA) are combined to create clusters. At first, oppositional
gravitational search algorithm (OGSA) is used to optimize the initial
clustering center and then the KFCM algorithm is availed to guide the
classification and the cluster formation process. In the OGSA, the
concept of the opposition based population initialization in the basic
GSA to improve the convergence profile. The identified clusters are
changed dynamically. The second step deals with the data transmission
to the cluster heads. The third step deals with the transmission of
aggregated data to the base station as well as the detection of target.
From the experimental results, the proposed scheme efficiently and
efficiently identifies the target. As a result the tracking error is
minimized.

1. INTRODUCTION
A number of approaches have been developed meta-heuristic
algorithms to solve various problems in WSNs. Among them, a
small number of approaches are discussed in this section.
In [8], the authors propose a location tracking methodology
based on radio waves. These employ received signal strength to
calculate the location of an object. Their technique basically
speaks about selecting a set of points and then based on the RF
connectivity between these points; the transmitting sensors are
placed only on a subset of 15 these points. The sensors have a
limited range of transmission and the observer would receive
unique ID packets anywhere in this region. In [9], the author
identifies a cluster head which is responsible for implementing the
algorithm. In order to minimize traffic and conserve energy, a
notification is sent by a sensor to the cluster-head whenever the
object is tracked which then queries a subset of sensors to gather
more detailed target information. These are intelligent queries
based on the cluster-head generating a probability table for each
grid point and then subsequent localization if a target is detected
by one or more sensors.
The aim of the algorithm in [7] is that every node that has at
least one spatial neighbour that is a Delivery-Zone node that will
forward or locally broadcast the Mobicast packet. So, all delivery
zone nodes will receive the corresponding packet. This simple
rule leads an ‘as-soon-as-possible’ style Mobicast protocol that
One of the important application of wireless sensor network is
target tracking [5] [6] [10]. The main focus of target tracking in
WSN is localization and object tracking. For a reliable target
tracking system, good tracking quality and energy efficiency are
the two very important requirements [1] [3]. In order to save
energy as well as to provide good trade off between energy
efficiency and tracking accuracy, cluster-based tracking has been
preferred for target detection. In cluster tracking system, the nodes
are grouped into clusters. The cluster based target tracking can be
further divided into two approaches, static clustering and dynamic
clustering [2] [12] [14]. In static clustering, clusters are formed
statically at the time of network deployment and the clusters are
formed before the intruders enter into the network; where as in
dynamic clustering clusters are formed dynamically and the
clusters are formed by using the signal strength from the target [4]
[15] [16] and [21].
In this paper, a fully decentralized Adaptive Dynamic
Clustering based Target Tracking scheme has been proposed for
single target tracking. The cluster heads are chosen based on the
energy levels of the nodes in the cluster. This data is transmitted
from all the members of the cluster to the cluster head.
Retransmission of data is done on timely manner. The proposed

exhibits a high average slack time which is not desirable. The
author present self-organized distributed target tracking
techniques with prediction based on Pheromones, Bayesian, and
Extended Kalman Filter techniques [18], [19]. The
implementation and testing of a real distributed sensor network
collaborative tracking algorithm in a military context is described
in [20].
Sandy Mahfouz et al. [28] described a technique for target
tracking in wireless sensor networks. This approach combined
machine learning with a Kalman filter to assess instantaneous
positions of a moving target. The target's accelerations, along with
information from the network, are utilized to achieve an accurate
estimation of its position. In [29], they also introduced two major
contributions to the wireless sensor network (WSN) society. The
first one consists of modeling the relationship between the
