1 Introduction

In general objects moving across borders or uninhabitedregions could be either humans or animals As there aresignificant differences between human and animal profiles itis feasible to use certain features to recognize and monitorspecial objects (humans) [1ndash3] However previous studiesare largely concerned with the acquisition of object profilesamples and recognition using traditional methods such ask-nearest neighbors (KNN) and support vector machines(SVMs) [4ndash6] ere has been no detailed discussion on thefusion of data or reducing the amount of data transmittedover the network In this paper we discuss these issues indetail based on previous work [7]

e main contribution of this paper is to construct awireless monitoring network with a profile detection systemas a network node To reduce the amount of data transmittedin the network as much as possible the network uses a sinknode to fuse the feature samples sent by each network nodethe fused data are then sent to the terminal for identificationallowing the determination of whether a special object(human) is passing through the monitoring area

is paper describes the fusion of multisource featuresamples through a superposition approach meaning thattraditional recognition methods such as KNN SVM andsparse representation classification (SRC) [8ndash10] cannotaccurately identify whether there is one or more class objectsin the fused sample To solve this problem we propose anovel object recognition method based on sparse repre-sentation Different from classical SRC the method de-scribed in this paper uses the distribution of nonzerocoefficients in the sparse representation to identify specialobjects in the fusion sample e experimental results verifythe effectiveness of this method

3 Sample Feature Extraction and Data Fusion

31 Feature Extraction According to Zha et al [7] theprofile detection system of the network monitoring node inthe wireless monitoring network expresses an object profilesample P as an S times L matrix e number of columns of eachsample matrix is different and there is a large amount ofredundant information Sending the sample matrix signaldirectly through the network wastes network resources andis inconvenient for data processing because of the differentdimensions of the matrix formed by P To solve theseproblems we use principal component analysis (PCA)[11ndash13] to pretreat the sample data e specific process is asfollows

After pretreatment the vector y is taken as the featuresample of the object and sent to the sink node for datafusion

32 Multisource Data Fusion Model Suppose that thewireless sensor network (WSN) contains N networkmonitoring nodes and that the jth network node acquires thefeature sample of the object as yj isin Rc(1le jleN) e sinknode receives the feature sample of each network node andperforms data fusion e network topology is shown inFigure 3 To reduce the computational complexity of the datafusion process we adopt the method of superposition toachieve fusion us the fusion sample can be expressed asfollows

where Aa [A1A2A3] and xa [xT1 xT

seen from equation (11) that the fusion sample r can besparsely represented under the dictionary Aa and the sparsecoefficients can be obtained by solving the followingl1-minimization problem [14ndash16]

where the parameter ε is the error tolerance Similarly whenthe fusion sample r is composed of k feature samples it canbe sparsely represented and the overcomplete dictionary isAa [A1A2 Ak]

To represent the fusion sample sparsely we use thetraining samples to construct an overcomplete dictionarydirectly [7 17ndash19] Assuming that there are T classes oftraining samples the number of training samples in eachclass is N1 N2 NT and the ith (1le ileNj) trainingsample in the jth (1le jleT) class is expressed as Pji isin RStimesLi and the specific process of constructing the dictionary is asfollows

(1) Input training samples Pji isin RStimesLi (2) Pretreatment of training samples

All training samples Pji isin RStimesLi are pretreated andthe feature vector φji isin Rc(c S times k) of the pre-treated sample is used as a dictionary atom

rough the above process we can obtain an over-complete dictionary

5 Special Object Recognition Method

According to the above sparsity analysis when there isone class of feature samples in the fusion sample themain nonzero coefficients in the sparse coefficient vectorobtained by l1-minimization are distributed on thecorresponding class of atoms whereas the coefficients forother classes of atoms are zero or very small If the fusionsample contains multiple classes the main nonzerocoefficients in the sparse coefficient vector are distributedon these classes Based on this feature we propose aspecial object recognition method for multisource datafusion samples e method is illustrated in Figure 5 andthe specific steps are as follows

6 Experimental Simulation andResults Analysis

Experiments are conducted based on the profile detectionsystem which uses 16 E3F-R2NK photoelectric sensors toconstruct a signal sensing unit e effective distance of thesensors is 2m In the actual environment the profile de-tection system mainly collects three kinds of object profilesamples for training and testing humans squatting humansand animals (dogs) e numbers of training samples andtest samples are listed in Table 1

It is assumed that each network node can detect at mostone object in a certain period of time In the followingexperiments the fusion samples are composed of humansand dogs and we consider the humans as the special objectsUnder different experimental conditions the proposedmethod can judge whether there is a special object (human)in the fusion sample and considers this a correct recognition

For the convenience of analysis and comparison it isassumed that the signal transmission power of each networknode is the same and the channel link gain remains constantat 1 e performance of the proposed method is comparedwith that of the traditional nearest-neighbor classifier (NN)[20] and the KNN SVM and SRC methods

e experiments are conducted on a Windows 7 PCrunning MATLAB (R2014a) with a 30GHz CPU and 8GBmemory

61 Experiment 1 Verifying the Sparsity of Fusion SamplesIt is assumed that within a certain period of time twonetwork nodes in the monitoring area detect objects passingby among which one node is a single person and one node isa dog After each node extracts the sample feature infor-mation the sink node performs data fusion e sparsity ofthe fused feature sample is analyzed and the distribution ofsparse representation coefficients is shown in Figure 6

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

As can be seen from Figure 6 the coefficients of thefusion samples are still sparse and distributed on the atomicterms of the two classes of human and animal e fusionsamples do not contain images that include squattinghumans so the coefficients for the linear representation of asquatting human are close to zero

ese experimental results show that the following (1)multisource data fusion samples can be sparsely representedunder the overcomplete dictionary (2) according to thedistribution of the main nonzero coefficients in the coeffi-cient vector the combination of different classes in thefusion sample can be distinguished and the special object(human) can be identified

62 Experiment 2 Relationship between Number of Objectsand Recognition Rate for Fixed Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)

621 Relationship between the Number of Animals andRecognition Rate Assuming that there is one human sce-narios including 1ndash5 animals are considered (see Table 2)e experimental simulation results are shown in Figure 7

As can be seen from Figure 7 the correct recognitionrates achieved by the traditional NN KNN SVM and SRCare relatively low As the number of animals increases the

traditional methods struggle to recognize the special objectcorrectly e proposed method outperforms these tradi-tional methods and exhibits better anti-interference ability

622 Relationship between Number of Humans and Rec-ognition Rate For the case of only one animal experimentswith 1ndash5 humans are considered (see Table 3) e exper-imental simulation results are shown in Figure 8

From Figure 8 we can see that an increase in the numberof humans enhances the recognition rate of variousmethods However the recognition rate of the methodproposed in this paper is consistently 100 which is ob-viously superior to that of traditional methods

63 Experiment 3 Verification of Relationship between SNRandRecognitionRate For WSNs reducing the transmissionpower of the signal can effectively extend the networklifetime In this experiment the number of humans andanimals is known and we analyze the impact of differentSNRs on the recognition performance e experimentalcondition settings are listed in Table 4 and the simulationresults are shown in Figure 9

It can be seen from Figure 9 that changes in the SNR havelittle effect on the recognition rates of the various methods

without humans passing through during which only ani-mals will be detected erefore it is very important tocorrectly judge that no humans are present thus reducingthe false alarm rate of the system e experimental con-ditions are listed in Table 5 and the simulation results areshown in Figure 10

As can be seen from Figure 10 when the SNR is 15 dB or20 dB the false alarm rate of the proposed method is slightlyhigher than that of traditional methods However as thenumber of animals increases the animal class information inthe fusion sample increases which reduces the possibility offalse alarmse experimental results show that an increase inthe number of animals will not increase the false alarm ratebut will actually help to reduce the false alarm rate

In summary the traditional recognition methods mainlyfocus on the test samples of a single classWhen the samples arecomposed of multiple classes the other classes in the fusionsample produce interference that affects their correct recog-nition performance e proposed method is based on sparserepresentation theory When the samples are composed ofmultiple classes we can effectively separate the fusion samplesin the sparse domain According to the coefficient distributionwe can then judge the class combination in the fusion samplee experimental results verify the validity of this method frommany aspects of recognition tasks

7 Conclusions

According to the characteristics of the profile detection systemcombined with WSN and sparse representation theory wehave proposed amethod of multisource data processing and anassociated mathematical model Based on this model a novel

special object recognition method has been developedCompared with traditional methods the method described inthis paper achieves better performance in many aspects ofrecognition Moreover in practical applications the systemparameters (such as the transmission power of the networknodes) can be adjusted to satisfy the actual requirements

where the parameter ε is the error tolerance Similarly whenthe fusion sample r is composed of k feature samples it canbe sparsely represented and the overcomplete dictionary isAa [A1A2 Ak]

To represent the fusion sample sparsely we use thetraining samples to construct an overcomplete dictionarydirectly [7 17ndash19] Assuming that there are T classes oftraining samples the number of training samples in eachclass is N1 N2 NT and the ith (1le ileNj) trainingsample in the jth (1le jleT) class is expressed as Pji isin RStimesLi and the specific process of constructing the dictionary is asfollows

(1) Input training samples Pji isin RStimesLi (2) Pretreatment of training samples

All training samples Pji isin RStimesLi are pretreated andthe feature vector φji isin Rc(c S times k) of the pre-treated sample is used as a dictionary atom

rough the above process we can obtain an over-complete dictionary

5 Special Object Recognition Method

According to the above sparsity analysis when there isone class of feature samples in the fusion sample themain nonzero coefficients in the sparse coefficient vectorobtained by l1-minimization are distributed on thecorresponding class of atoms whereas the coefficients forother classes of atoms are zero or very small If the fusionsample contains multiple classes the main nonzerocoefficients in the sparse coefficient vector are distributedon these classes Based on this feature we propose aspecial object recognition method for multisource datafusion samples e method is illustrated in Figure 5 andthe specific steps are as follows

6 Experimental Simulation andResults Analysis

Experiments are conducted based on the profile detectionsystem which uses 16 E3F-R2NK photoelectric sensors toconstruct a signal sensing unit e effective distance of thesensors is 2m In the actual environment the profile de-tection system mainly collects three kinds of object profilesamples for training and testing humans squatting humansand animals (dogs) e numbers of training samples andtest samples are listed in Table 1

It is assumed that each network node can detect at mostone object in a certain period of time In the followingexperiments the fusion samples are composed of humansand dogs and we consider the humans as the special objectsUnder different experimental conditions the proposedmethod can judge whether there is a special object (human)in the fusion sample and considers this a correct recognition

For the convenience of analysis and comparison it isassumed that the signal transmission power of each networknode is the same and the channel link gain remains constantat 1 e performance of the proposed method is comparedwith that of the traditional nearest-neighbor classifier (NN)[20] and the KNN SVM and SRC methods

e experiments are conducted on a Windows 7 PCrunning MATLAB (R2014a) with a 30GHz CPU and 8GBmemory

61 Experiment 1 Verifying the Sparsity of Fusion SamplesIt is assumed that within a certain period of time twonetwork nodes in the monitoring area detect objects passingby among which one node is a single person and one node isa dog After each node extracts the sample feature infor-mation the sink node performs data fusion e sparsity ofthe fused feature sample is analyzed and the distribution ofsparse representation coefficients is shown in Figure 6

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

As can be seen from Figure 6 the coefficients of thefusion samples are still sparse and distributed on the atomicterms of the two classes of human and animal e fusionsamples do not contain images that include squattinghumans so the coefficients for the linear representation of asquatting human are close to zero

ese experimental results show that the following (1)multisource data fusion samples can be sparsely representedunder the overcomplete dictionary (2) according to thedistribution of the main nonzero coefficients in the coeffi-cient vector the combination of different classes in thefusion sample can be distinguished and the special object(human) can be identified

62 Experiment 2 Relationship between Number of Objectsand Recognition Rate for Fixed Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)

621 Relationship between the Number of Animals andRecognition Rate Assuming that there is one human sce-narios including 1ndash5 animals are considered (see Table 2)e experimental simulation results are shown in Figure 7

As can be seen from Figure 7 the correct recognitionrates achieved by the traditional NN KNN SVM and SRCare relatively low As the number of animals increases the

traditional methods struggle to recognize the special objectcorrectly e proposed method outperforms these tradi-tional methods and exhibits better anti-interference ability

622 Relationship between Number of Humans and Rec-ognition Rate For the case of only one animal experimentswith 1ndash5 humans are considered (see Table 3) e exper-imental simulation results are shown in Figure 8

From Figure 8 we can see that an increase in the numberof humans enhances the recognition rate of variousmethods However the recognition rate of the methodproposed in this paper is consistently 100 which is ob-viously superior to that of traditional methods

63 Experiment 3 Verification of Relationship between SNRandRecognitionRate For WSNs reducing the transmissionpower of the signal can effectively extend the networklifetime In this experiment the number of humans andanimals is known and we analyze the impact of differentSNRs on the recognition performance e experimentalcondition settings are listed in Table 4 and the simulationresults are shown in Figure 9

It can be seen from Figure 9 that changes in the SNR havelittle effect on the recognition rates of the various methods

6 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

without humans passing through during which only ani-mals will be detected erefore it is very important tocorrectly judge that no humans are present thus reducingthe false alarm rate of the system e experimental con-ditions are listed in Table 5 and the simulation results areshown in Figure 10

As can be seen from Figure 10 when the SNR is 15 dB or20 dB the false alarm rate of the proposed method is slightlyhigher than that of traditional methods However as thenumber of animals increases the animal class information inthe fusion sample increases which reduces the possibility offalse alarmse experimental results show that an increase inthe number of animals will not increase the false alarm ratebut will actually help to reduce the false alarm rate

In summary the traditional recognition methods mainlyfocus on the test samples of a single classWhen the samples arecomposed of multiple classes the other classes in the fusionsample produce interference that affects their correct recog-nition performance e proposed method is based on sparserepresentation theory When the samples are composed ofmultiple classes we can effectively separate the fusion samplesin the sparse domain According to the coefficient distributionwe can then judge the class combination in the fusion samplee experimental results verify the validity of this method frommany aspects of recognition tasks

7 Conclusions

According to the characteristics of the profile detection systemcombined with WSN and sparse representation theory wehave proposed amethod of multisource data processing and anassociated mathematical model Based on this model a novel

special object recognition method has been developedCompared with traditional methods the method described inthis paper achieves better performance in many aspects ofrecognition Moreover in practical applications the systemparameters (such as the transmission power of the networknodes) can be adjusted to satisfy the actual requirements

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

As can be seen from Figure 6 the coefficients of thefusion samples are still sparse and distributed on the atomicterms of the two classes of human and animal e fusionsamples do not contain images that include squattinghumans so the coefficients for the linear representation of asquatting human are close to zero

ese experimental results show that the following (1)multisource data fusion samples can be sparsely representedunder the overcomplete dictionary (2) according to thedistribution of the main nonzero coefficients in the coeffi-cient vector the combination of different classes in thefusion sample can be distinguished and the special object(human) can be identified

621 Relationship between the Number of Animals andRecognition Rate Assuming that there is one human sce-narios including 1ndash5 animals are considered (see Table 2)e experimental simulation results are shown in Figure 7

As can be seen from Figure 7 the correct recognitionrates achieved by the traditional NN KNN SVM and SRCare relatively low As the number of animals increases the

traditional methods struggle to recognize the special objectcorrectly e proposed method outperforms these tradi-tional methods and exhibits better anti-interference ability

622 Relationship between Number of Humans and Rec-ognition Rate For the case of only one animal experimentswith 1ndash5 humans are considered (see Table 3) e exper-imental simulation results are shown in Figure 8

From Figure 8 we can see that an increase in the numberof humans enhances the recognition rate of variousmethods However the recognition rate of the methodproposed in this paper is consistently 100 which is ob-viously superior to that of traditional methods

where Aa [A1A2A3] and xa [xT1 xT

seen from equation (11) that the fusion sample r can besparsely represented under the dictionary Aa and the sparsecoefficients can be obtained by solving the followingl1-minimization problem [14ndash16]

(12)

where the parameter ε is the error tolerance Similarly whenthe fusion sample r is composed of k feature samples it canbe sparsely represented and the overcomplete dictionary isAa [A1A2 Ak]

To represent the fusion sample sparsely we use thetraining samples to construct an overcomplete dictionarydirectly [7 17ndash19] Assuming that there are T classes oftraining samples the number of training samples in eachclass is N1 N2 NT and the ith (1le ileNj) trainingsample in the jth (1le jleT) class is expressed as Pji isin RStimesLi and the specific process of constructing the dictionary is asfollows

(1) Input training samples Pji isin RStimesLi (2) Pretreatment of training samples

All training samples Pji isin RStimesLi are pretreated andthe feature vector φji isin Rc(c S times k) of the pre-treated sample is used as a dictionary atom

(3) Output construct overcomplete dictionaryAa [φ11φ12 φTNT

] isin Rctimesn(clt n) wheren N1 + N2 + middot middot middot + NT

rough the above process we can obtain an over-complete dictionary

5 Special Object Recognition Method

According to the above sparsity analysis when there isone class of feature samples in the fusion sample themain nonzero coefficients in the sparse coefficient vectorobtained by l1-minimization are distributed on thecorresponding class of atoms whereas the coefficients forother classes of atoms are zero or very small If the fusionsample contains multiple classes the main nonzerocoefficients in the sparse coefficient vector are distributedon these classes Based on this feature we propose aspecial object recognition method for multisource datafusion samples e method is illustrated in Figure 5 andthe specific steps are as follows

6 Experimental Simulation andResults Analysis

Experiments are conducted based on the profile detectionsystem which uses 16 E3F-R2NK photoelectric sensors toconstruct a signal sensing unit e effective distance of thesensors is 2m In the actual environment the profile de-tection system mainly collects three kinds of object profilesamples for training and testing humans squatting humansand animals (dogs) e numbers of training samples andtest samples are listed in Table 1

It is assumed that each network node can detect at mostone object in a certain period of time In the followingexperiments the fusion samples are composed of humansand dogs and we consider the humans as the special objectsUnder different experimental conditions the proposedmethod can judge whether there is a special object (human)in the fusion sample and considers this a correct recognition

For the convenience of analysis and comparison it isassumed that the signal transmission power of each networknode is the same and the channel link gain remains constantat 1 e performance of the proposed method is comparedwith that of the traditional nearest-neighbor classifier (NN)[20] and the KNN SVM and SRC methods

e experiments are conducted on a Windows 7 PCrunning MATLAB (R2014a) with a 30GHz CPU and 8GBmemory

61 Experiment 1 Verifying the Sparsity of Fusion SamplesIt is assumed that within a certain period of time twonetwork nodes in the monitoring area detect objects passingby among which one node is a single person and one node isa dog After each node extracts the sample feature infor-mation the sink node performs data fusion e sparsity ofthe fused feature sample is analyzed and the distribution ofsparse representation coefficients is shown in Figure 6

4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

As can be seen from Figure 6 the coefficients of thefusion samples are still sparse and distributed on the atomicterms of the two classes of human and animal e fusionsamples do not contain images that include squattinghumans so the coefficients for the linear representation of asquatting human are close to zero

ese experimental results show that the following (1)multisource data fusion samples can be sparsely representedunder the overcomplete dictionary (2) according to thedistribution of the main nonzero coefficients in the coeffi-cient vector the combination of different classes in thefusion sample can be distinguished and the special object(human) can be identified

62 Experiment 2 Relationship between Number of Objectsand Recognition Rate for Fixed Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)

621 Relationship between the Number of Animals andRecognition Rate Assuming that there is one human sce-narios including 1ndash5 animals are considered (see Table 2)e experimental simulation results are shown in Figure 7

As can be seen from Figure 7 the correct recognitionrates achieved by the traditional NN KNN SVM and SRCare relatively low As the number of animals increases the

traditional methods struggle to recognize the special objectcorrectly e proposed method outperforms these tradi-tional methods and exhibits better anti-interference ability

622 Relationship between Number of Humans and Rec-ognition Rate For the case of only one animal experimentswith 1ndash5 humans are considered (see Table 3) e exper-imental simulation results are shown in Figure 8

From Figure 8 we can see that an increase in the numberof humans enhances the recognition rate of variousmethods However the recognition rate of the methodproposed in this paper is consistently 100 which is ob-viously superior to that of traditional methods

63 Experiment 3 Verification of Relationship between SNRandRecognitionRate For WSNs reducing the transmissionpower of the signal can effectively extend the networklifetime In this experiment the number of humans andanimals is known and we analyze the impact of differentSNRs on the recognition performance e experimentalcondition settings are listed in Table 4 and the simulationresults are shown in Figure 9

It can be seen from Figure 9 that changes in the SNR havelittle effect on the recognition rates of the various methods

6 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

without humans passing through during which only ani-mals will be detected erefore it is very important tocorrectly judge that no humans are present thus reducingthe false alarm rate of the system e experimental con-ditions are listed in Table 5 and the simulation results areshown in Figure 10

As can be seen from Figure 10 when the SNR is 15 dB or20 dB the false alarm rate of the proposed method is slightlyhigher than that of traditional methods However as thenumber of animals increases the animal class information inthe fusion sample increases which reduces the possibility offalse alarmse experimental results show that an increase inthe number of animals will not increase the false alarm ratebut will actually help to reduce the false alarm rate

In summary the traditional recognition methods mainlyfocus on the test samples of a single classWhen the samples arecomposed of multiple classes the other classes in the fusionsample produce interference that affects their correct recog-nition performance e proposed method is based on sparserepresentation theory When the samples are composed ofmultiple classes we can effectively separate the fusion samplesin the sparse domain According to the coefficient distributionwe can then judge the class combination in the fusion samplee experimental results verify the validity of this method frommany aspects of recognition tasks

7 Conclusions

According to the characteristics of the profile detection systemcombined with WSN and sparse representation theory wehave proposed amethod of multisource data processing and anassociated mathematical model Based on this model a novel

special object recognition method has been developedCompared with traditional methods the method described inthis paper achieves better performance in many aspects ofrecognition Moreover in practical applications the systemparameters (such as the transmission power of the networknodes) can be adjusted to satisfy the actual requirements
