Que: Write A Short Note On I) Category of Sensor (W/18)

The document discusses target tracking schemes and approaches. It describes three subsystems used for target tracking: a sensing subsystem to detect targets, a tracking algorithm to predict target paths, and a communication subsystem to share information between nodes. Two common approaches are described: centralized, where all nodes report to a central base station, and distributed, where nodes have equal responsibility and work together without a central entity.

Target tracking scheme classification

- The sensing subsystem is used to sense the target i.e it comprises of the node that first detects the
target and other nodes which are gradually take part in detecting the target.
- Second subsystem (tracking algorithm) is the prediction based algorithm which is used to trace the
path of the desired target
- The last one is communication subsystem which is used to send the information from one node to
another.
- All these three subsystem works collaboratively and maintains the relationship among them.

Target Tracking Approach

Centralized Approach:

 In centralized approach each node send the data to the central node which is base station.
 Monitoring and algorithm is always executed at the base station and result is distributed to the
sensor nodes.
 There may be many sensor node sending data to the base station at the same time so station may get
overloaded.
 Single station processing complete data therefore single point of failure can affect whole network
as well as degrade tracking performance.

Distributed Approach:

 In distributed approach there is no central entity in the network and all nodes are provided with
same level of responsibility and work.

Category of sensor
Sensors
Sensors can be roughly categorized into three categories:

 Passive, omnidirectional sensors: These sensors can measure a physical quantity at the point of
the sensor node without actually manipulating the environment by active probing – in this sense,
they are passive. Moreover, some of these sensors actually are self-powered in the sense that they
obtain the energy they need from the environment – energy is only needed to amplify their analog
signal. There is no notion of “direction” involved in these measurements. Typical examples for
such sensors include thermometer, light sensors, vibration, microphones, humidity, mechanical
stress or tension in materials, chemical sensors sensitive for given substances, smoke detectors, air
pressure, and so on.
