Abstract :
This paper reviews target localization methods in wireless sensor networks. Target localization methods have been investigated extensively due to their wide applications. Main target localization methods include time delay of arrival methods, direction of arrival methods, energy-based target localization methods, radio mapping methods and so on. In this paper, three main categories of localization methods are reviewed. Moreover, possible future research directions are also given.
