Platform Design of Passive Target Perception and Localization Based on Sensor Networks

Abstract

With the rapid development, extensive knowledge, and diverse application scenarios of target perception and positioning technology in sensor networks, a passive target perception and localization platform based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has been designed. The platform is mainly applied for the teaching of electronic information, communication, and Internet of Things (IoT) engineering. The platform follows the teaching concept of “developing students’ ability to solve complex engineering problems” in the emerging engineering discipline and combines experimental simulation with real-world testing, as well as integrating scientific research and teaching. It encompasses technical elements such as perception and localization theory, sparse representation classification modeling, solving underdetermined equations, data analysis, and sparse coding, as well as nontechnical aspects such as team collaboration and cost budgeting. The platform boasts high fidelity and scalability, providing students with the opportunity to develop comprehensive practical and innovative skills in solving complex engineering problems.
