Target classification in Wireless Sensor Network using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)

Target classification is one of the main requirements of target tracking processes in military Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this paper, a new sub-optimal target classification approach based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed. The PSO classification algorithm is shown to have better classification accuracy and processing speed as compared to the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Maximum Likelihood classification algorithms.
