Abstract:
Target monitoring systems are widely used in various domains such as companies and schools to prevent crimes. Such systems require operators to monitor the information sent from sensor devices, such as cameras and beacon devices. To reduce the workload on the operators, we proposed an automatic target tracking system. However, issues arose due to target recognition errors caused by the sensor devices. To address this problem, we introduced groups of agent to reduce false tracking. The groups were expanded to avoid losing the target; however, the location of the target in the group was unclear. In this study, we calculated the probabilities of the location of the target in a group and improved tracking efficiency. The validity of this approach was confirmed via simulations.
