Summary

Introduction

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) integrated with sensor technology, embedded computing technology, wireless communications technologies, and distributed information processing technology can monitor, perceive, and acquire various environmental or object information. Range-free localization schemes utilize simple sensing, such as wireless connectivity,[7] anchor proximity,[8] or localization event detection,[9] to localize nodes These approaches are cost-efficient but exhibit low accuracy. A unmanned aerial vehicle– assisted node localization (UNL) approach is proposed, in which a miniature UAV carrying the Global Positioning System (GPS) and a image sensor is employed to assist localization. A novel localization scheme is proposed based on image recognition and processing techniques. We propose a novel method to evaluate the parameters of Log-normal Shadowing model for received signal strength (RSS) sensing, which fully utilizes the location information of known nodes and can improve the localization accuracy of the RSSI-based localization algorithm. Section ‘‘Conclusion’’ concludes the article and provides future work direction
