This letter addresses the sensor selection problem for tracking multiple dynamic targets within a sensor network. Since the bandwidth and energy of the sensor network are constrained, it would not be feasible to directly use the entire information of sensor nodes for detection and tracking of the targets and hence the need for sensor selection. Our sensor selection solution is formulated using the multi-Bernoulli random finite set framework. The proposed method selects a minimum subset of sensors which are most likely to provide reliable measurements. The overall scheme is a robust method that works in challenging scenarios where no prior information are available on clutter intensity or sensor detection profile. Simulation results demonstrate successful sensor selection in a challenging case where five targets move in a close vicinity to each other. Comparative results show the superior performance of our method …
