Position localization is an important problem in wireless sensor networks. A major challenge in this problem is overcoming errors and imprecision in locating the unknown position of a randomly deployed sensor. Localization is also an initial step to subsequent procedures such as routing and information exchange. Thus, if the result from localization is inaccurate, then future processes would be tainted with error. We propose a new approach for cooperative object localization by a group of communicating sensors. Information gathered by these sensors is combined using fuzzy logic techniques to attain a sensor positioning algorithm with minimized error.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
