A Novel Human Motion Tracking Approach Based on a Wireless Sensor Network

This paper proposes a human motion tracking approach for a daily life surveillance in a distributed wireless sensor network using ultrasonic range sensors. Because the human target often moves with high nonlinearity, the proposed approach applies the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) technique. A novel...
