Abstract
Device-free localization (DFL) is a technique of locating targets via wireless sensor networks (WSNs) without carrying any electronic devices. This article introduces a device-free vehicle localization system that can determine the position and 2-D size of a dynamic vehicle in a monitoring region via ultra wide band (UWB) networks. Specifically, our system involves an obstructed recognition model for detecting the state of links, a state-input radio tomography imaging (SI-RTI) algorithm for reconstructing a high-resolution image, a contour threshold method for predicting the size of a vehicle target, and a gradient-advance-retreat (GAR) optimization algorithm for improving accuracy. Field experiments show that our system can estimate the position and size of a moving vehicle with a location root-mean-square error (RMSE) of less than 1.1 m and a root-mean-square overlap degree of more than 75% between the prediction and the real target.
