Multi-target tracking is a hot topic of current research on wireless sensor networks (WSN). Based on adaptive sampling interval, we propose a multi-target tracking algorithm in order to save energy consumption and prevent tracking lost for WSN. We contrast the targets moving model by using the position metadata, and predicte the targets moving status based on extended Kalman filter (EKF).we adopt the probability density function (PDF) of the estimated targets to establish the tracking cluster. By defining the tracking center, we use Markov distance to quantify the election process of the main node (MN). We comput targets impact strength through the targets importance and the distance to MN node, and then use it to build tracking algorithm. We do the simulation experiment based on MATLAB, and the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can accurate predict the trajectory of the targets, and adjust the sampling interval while the targets were moving. By analyzing the experiments data, we know that the proposed algorithm can improve the tracking precision and save the energy consumption of WSN obviously.
