Abstract: We propose a dynamic distributed algorithm for tracking objects that move fast in a sensor network. The algorithm first provides detection of the target and forming a cluster with the neighboring nodes around it. After the selection of a cluster leader, the coordinates of the target is estimated using localization methods and cooperation between the cluster nodes under the control of the leader node. The coordinates and the speed of the target is then used to estimate its trajectory. This information in turn provides the location of the nodes along the estimated trajectory which can be awaken, hence provides tracking of the moving object. We describe the algorithm, analyze its efficiency and show by simulations that it performs well to track very fast moving objects with speeds much higher than reported in literature.
