Abstract: Target tracking has become an elementary task in wireless visual sensor networks (WVSNs). In this paper, we propose a camera sensor activation scheme for target tracking in WVSN. Our objective is to balance the tradeoff between the accuracy of target tracking and the resources of networks. By studying the sensing model and deployments of cameras, an observation correlation coefficient is derived to describe the correlation characteristics of visual information observed by cameras with overlapped field of views. According to the observation correlation coefficient, a correlation-based camera activation scheme is designed. Experimental results show that the proposed observation correlation coefficient can model the correlation characteristics of visual information in WVSN. Further simulations show that the correlation-based camera activation scheme has satisfied performance in target tracking compared with other sensor selection methods.
