Abstract

In indoor target tracking based on wireless sensor networks, the particle filtering algorithm

has been widely used because of its outstanding performance in coping with highly non-linear

problems. Resampling is generally required to address the inherent particle degeneracy problem in

the particle filter. However, traditional resampling methods cause the problem of particle impoverishment.

This problem degrades positioning accuracy and robustness and sometimes may even

result in filtering divergence and tracking failure. In order to mitigate the particle impoverishment

and improve positioning accuracy, this paper proposes an improved genetic optimization based

resampling method. This resampling method optimizes the distribution of resampled particles by

the five operators, i.e., selection, roughening, classification, crossover, and mutation. The proposed

resampling method is then integrated into the particle filtering framework to form a genetic optimization

resampling based particle filtering (GORPF) algorithm. The performance of the GORPF

algorithm is tested by a one-dimensional tracking simulation and a three-dimensional indoor tracking

experiment. Both test results show that with the aid of the proposed resampling method, the GORPF

has better robustness against particle impoverishment and achieves better positioning accuracy than

several existing target tracking algorithms. Moreover, the GORPF algorithm owns an affordable

computation load for real-time applications.
