Abstract

Ability to locate a specific object in a dynamic environment has several practical applications including security surveillance, navigation and search and rescue operations. The objective of this paper is to develop an object-tracking algorithm using a combination of fuzzy logic and neural networks. The aim is to originate an algorithm that matches the history locations of an object and predicts its location when it goes offline. Determining the location of an object on specific trajectory becomes difficult if the mobile object stopped reporting its location and goes offline. Therefore, in this analytical article, a proposed approach relies on estimations from sensor data of historical movement patterns and geometric models, is fed into special Neural Network to get best accurate present or future object locations. Fuzzy logic application is used to overcome the challenge of imprecision in data. Although this approach is complex; but it can be one of the ways to be applied on large area applications with acceptable accuracy (80%) as shown by experiments.
